WIZKID FEAT CHRIS BROWN

Afro Beat!

WizKid is a superstar from Nigeria, loved all around the world. He travels between Africa and the rest of the world with his Afro-Beat and Hip-Hop style, between Fela and Drake. Wizkid's music looks alike the culture of 21st century where music of all the world joins.

His 2 solo albums, Superstar in 2011 and Ayo in 2014, confirm that he's one of the most successful artists in Africa, and that he reaches the world. His participation to Drake's Hit One Dance, #1 in the US and 9 other countries is only a sip of what's coming next for Wizkid.

Wizkid's introduction to the US public happens in 2016, exactly at the right time, after he showed his talent on the international scene. He's awarded at MTV EMA as Best international Artist. At British MOBO Awards, he's awarded best African group, and at MTV MAMA Awards, he wins Best Collaboration, Best Male Artist and Artist of the year. Two other clues confirm Wizkid's popularity: he's the first Nigerian artist to get into the US Billboard, and the first to get 1 million followers on Twitter.

Even if grooving Afro-Beat rhythms are flowing in his music, Wizkid does not like to label his style. « It is hard to define what I do, I navigate between Afro-Beat, reggae, hip-hop, dance hall and many others. What matters to me is that my music be sincere, authentic, rough and timeless. I don't want to be categorized. »
