This comes hot on the heels of his recent MTV EMA win for Best African Act and ahead of his debut UK TV performance at this year’s MOBO Awards taking place in Leeds (Leeds Direct Arena) on Nov 29, where he is also nominated for Best African Act.

2017 has been a phenomenal year for Columbia Records/Sony Music artist DAVIDO. February saw the release of ‘If’, produced by fellow Afrobeats star – Tekno, it shot to the no.1 spot in over 9 countries and dominated radio and clubs across the globe. The summer smash ‘Fall’ followed and he maintained the No.1 position in the Nigerian, Kenyan and South African charts. Championed here in the UK by the likes of DJ Neptizzle (Rinse FM), DJ Abrantee (Capital Xtra) and DJ Edu (BBC Radio 1Xtra/Radio 1), this has solidified his position as the King of modern Afrobeats. Both tracks combined have amassed over 88 million views on YouTube.

He released a track last week – ‘FIA’, which in 7 days has seen over 3 million views and is play listed on BBC Radio 1xtra. With the launch of a successful clothing line in the luxury London department store Selfridges and multiple award nominations and wins, it is safe to say this year has been a good year for Davido.
