‘Timeless’ singer, Davido, has recalled the circumstances that led him to learn how to record music.
He also spoke on how he transited from being a producer to singer.
In an interview with Forbes, he said, “I used to be a producer. I have always wanted to be in the background of things. So, I used to have an older cousin, he was like the musician of the family. I’m the last born of my family. But then I was very good with computers, tech, stuff like that.
“So, when he told me he does music, I quickly went to go and learn how to record music from YouTube. I bought a computer, a programme and everything, so I started learning on YouTube.
“Then I started recording artistes. One of my cousins that always with me every time in the studio, he noticed that if you are an artist and I’m recording you.
Davido added that anytime he noticed the artiste made a mistake, he mumbled, saying, “Nah, don’t sing it like that, sing it like this. Sing it this way, it will catch their ears more this way.
“So, over time doing that, I was like ‘Yo! I’m better than everybody that I’m recording.
“I was like ‘You know, maybe I should record a song.”
