_ “It’s hard for me to describe what I do, since I work with rhythms
from Afro-Beat, reggae, hip-hop, dance hall and others,” WizKid told
Billboard in a statement. “What’s important to me is for music to be
real, authentic, raw and timeless. I don’t wanna be boxed in to any one
genre.” _
RCA Records chairman and CEO Peter Edge added: “We are thrilled to
welcome WizKid to the RCA Records family. He has become a superstar in
the African music scene and will be a game-changer in bringing African
music to the world. We are extremely excited to have him as a part of
RCA and are eager for the journey ahead.” Raised on the sounds of Fela
Kuti and King Sunny Ade, WizKid (born Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun) gained
popularity with the 2010 track “Holla At Your Boy” as a signee to Banky
W’s Empire Mates Entertainment. He’s also released two albums: 2011’s
Superstar and 2014’s Ayo.
