Grammy Award-winning artist Wizkid has recently opened up about his unconventional approach to making music, revealing that he recorded all of his biggest hits while seated. In a candid video, Wizkid shared that he prefers a relaxed, stress-free environment when creating his chart-topping tracks.
The acclaimed Afrobeats star, known for hits like “Essence,” “Holla At Your Boy,” “Soco,” “Joro,” and “Ojuelegba,” emphasized that he does not believe in overworking to produce music. “All my biggest songs… I recorded them sitting down,” he said. Wizkid also expressed his disinterest in promoting his music or participating in media interviews, stating, “You see promo, I hate doing that sht. You know press, I hate doing all that sht, bro.”
He further explained that his producer, P2J, is the only person who truly understands his creative process. According to Wizkid, turning on the mic and recording is all it takes to create his music, as he feels the globalized world of music means he doesn’t need external validation.
Reactions to Wizkid’s comments have been varied. Some fans and observers have questioned his approach, with comments ranging from skepticism about his lack of promotion to comparisons with other artists like Davido. However, Wizkid remains unfazed, focusing on his next big project.
Looking ahead, Wizkid is set to launch the “Morayo” era with his upcoming track, “RRR,” scheduled for release at 1pm Nigerian time on October 1st. This release marks a significant shift in his creative direction and is generating considerable excitement among fans and industry insiders. October 1st, Nigeria’s Independence Day, adds a layer of significance to the release, suggesting themes of pride, culture, and celebration.
As one of Africa’s most influential musicians, Wizkid’s new music is always highly anticipated. “RRR” is expected to continue his legacy of producing hit tracks and solidify his status as a leading figure in the Afrobeats genre. Fans are eagerly counting down to the release, ready for the next evolution of Starboy’s signature sound.
