As a trailblazer, he has constantly set the direction for the genre and amplified its popularity worldwide.
Through chart-topping tracks like If, Fall, Blow My Mind, and Unavailable, Davido has not only carved himself as a successful music career, but also as a record label executive, mentor, and cultural ambassador.
