Meet The First-Time Nominee: Davido On The Rise Of African
A standard-bearer of Afrobeats, Davido celebrates three nominations at the 2024 GRAMMYs: Best Global Music Performance, Best Global Music Album and Best African Music Performance — the latter of which helped him become part of history. Davido has dedicated his life to his African roots. From paying tribute to the Yoruba people on his debut album, 2012's Omo Baba Olowo, to hosting the inaugural A.W.A.Y Festival last November, the Nigerian-American singer/songwriter/producer's pride is undeniable.
