Popular for `Calm Down`, one of the most viral songs on the internet right now, the Nigerian singer-songwriter is in India for his first ever `Calm Down India Tour`. The 23-year-old who recently celebrated his birthday is a picture of humility but also realises how talented he is, and wants to showcase that through his Afrobeats music, which he classifies as `Afrorave`, through his debut album, `Rave & Roses`.
In an exclusive interview with Mid-day Online at the Grand Hyatt in Mumbai, he delved into different areas of his music and life. Undoubtedly, he also spoke about the time his song `Iron Man` appeared on former US President Barack Obama`s summer playlist in 2019, one of the early highlights of his five-year-old career, and it was followed by `Calm Down` in 2022. "I was surprised because I was like how did my song travel to the White House," he shares, adding, "That just shows what good music can do."
