Abidoza Open Up About His Collaboration With Nigerian Stars Ckay And Davido. The man behind the multi-million streaming ‘Siyathandana’, voiced by Boohle and Cassper Nyovest — along with the Major League DJz co-produced albums ‘Pianochella’ and ‘What’s The Levol’ — Abidoza is one of the most in-demand producers in amapiano.
Recently the 25-year-old collaborated with global Afrobeat star Davido on CKay’s new single, Watawi. The song is making strong rounds internationally. “Working with Focalistic, Ckay and Davido is a huge achievement for myself. And also being approached by them was proof to me that I am doing something right, in my own little corner. This was proof that my hard work, silent moves, the sweat and being consistent are shining through,” he says.
His music journey started in 2010 as a DJ.“Even with such success at such a tender age, I am still dreaming big. I want more, to work with artists such as Alicia Keys and TEMS, among others. This drive that is in me won’t let me sleep until my desires are met. I believe that my hard work has moved me closer to achieving this dream that is within me. I believe it will happen so, and I am definitely ready and I am willing.”
“This album and its title is a reflection of everything that I went through in the music industry and as a child generally. Going through a time when I would be discouraged from pursuing my passion, being told that my music would not be heard, that nobody will take me seriously or that I won’t be relevant by naysayers around. It is from those experiences of unbelief and sometimes feeling like I am alone within this business and ultimately pushing through the negativity that inspired the title Black Child. It was meant to be called Black Child it is Possible.”
