“I got a message from Davido that changed my life forever.” — Mayorkun
Just after shutting down the O2, where as usual Davido used yet another opportunity to lift up others. We present…
Mayorkun!
The Mayor of Lagos says one DM from Davido changed his life forever.
We go deep into that story.
… weaving through the influence of his grandmother, the objection of his parents, the boredom of banking (yes, Mayorkun was a banker!) and the bliss of success.
We saw Davido lifting everybody up during his concert and so this week Mayorkun tells us what makes Davido so special and so large-hearted and how that openness changed Mayorkun’s life when he didn’t even have one single.
What I learnt from this exclusive interview with Mayorkun is that there are too many unprepared people in the world. Every day I meet a young person that says they want to be an artist. They’re like: time is going, time is going! I need to blow! Shouldn’t you spend time owning your craft? Shouldn’t you spend time building your repertoire before trying to pay influencers to push your song. Before trying to do ‘payola’ to radio presenters, and before trying to get a manager? Shouldn’t you first own your craft?
I’ve interviewed a lot of trending musicians from Fireboy to Peruzzi to Niniola and Teni, Joeboy all of them and the same thing, they were prepared! There are too many unprepared people in the world who are looking for a quick fix.
Mayorkun says despite him working in the bank and haven’t done any single, he was writing music to keep himself prepared for opportunities to come.
The moment His Life changed forever!
I wasn’t sure if it was the real Davido that sent a DM because social media is crazy. But at that moment, I knew that I was not working in that bank again. 😂🔥
