| Davido in Dallas |
Just recently, New York based Fader magazine, an entertainment magazine featured Davido in its most recent edition, tagging him 'African pop music fortunate son'. This was in reaction to his Sony Global music recording deal which has been rumoured to worth a whooping $1m.
Fader magazine went ahead to headline and indeed feature Davido in its annual music show 'Fader Fort' in Austin, Texas. The event which held over the weekend saw Davido performing his monster hit 'Aye' to a delighted crowd of mostly white teenagers.

Although the crowd was obviously entertained, however there was a level of curiosity and appraisal attached to their response. It was very clear that Davido's music and sound was quite new to them. Yes! a few of them may have heard Wizkid's magical 'Ojuelegba' but a larger majority are still oblivious to the beautiful sounds and music emanating from Nigeria.

If the saying 'time would tell' is anything to go by, then i believe that with the youthful zest and ambitiousness of the likes of Wizkid and Davido, the beautiful Nigerian music and sound we enjoy here would soon become a huge global export, with Nigerian artistes and producers constantly in Global demand. Just wait on it you white folks, Nigerian Music is coming for y'all.
