igerian singers/artists are making a big wave around the world. Many are so gifted that even in a place like USA, their music repertoire has become house hold, not just amongst the Nigerian community but African community and USA.
One of such artists is Kizz Daniels. I did not know about him until I observed sometime in 2022 that every party I attended a certain song was played and people danced the song in synchronicity. Then I started seeing more people on social media playing and dancing to the song. It is called Buga. For some reason, I got hooked and picked up the dance style too. It was at this point that I googled the music and found out that it was by one Kizz Daniels. Ever since, I developed a lot of interest in him and his music. I attended a birthday celebration in Boston where the music was played and practically everyone got up and danced in unison.
Then before we knew it, the young man dropped another bomb of a music!- Cough(Odoyewu). That one floored me completely. Before now, I mainly reprised/played and sang old time songs but his string of hits got me to change. I first played the Buga just with an acoustic guitar and made it into a Facebook reel. In a few days, thousands of views of the reprise had occurred. It dawned on me that I was not the only one enjoying the young man�s songs.
So, I went further and played and sang his latest song called Cough- Odoyewu. Now, that one is also garnering a lot of attention as a Facebook reel. I must say that these young Nigerian musicians are putting the name of the country on the map positively and should be encouraged.�
Enjoy my version of Cough(Odoyewu) by Kizz Daniels on Facebook where you will also find my reprise of Fada Fada by Phyno/Olamide
