Nigerian singer Davido has had the music industry in a chokehold since he dropped his first hit.

In an interview with popular Youtuber Tayo Aina, the DMW boss revealed that he was a baby when he 'blew' in the industry with Back When.

He added that he started going everywhere, showing what he could do, with his main strong point as an engineer who could produce beats.

Davido's cousin Special who used to work with Don Jazzy's MoHits, was his key to meeting the crew, and the Mavin boss was his mentor.
