Veteran Nigerian singer, D’banj, embarks on a fresh journey in his music career, embracing the role of a “new cat” (a term typically reserved for emerging artists) despite his 20 years in the industry.
The 43-year-old artist acknowledges the evolving landscape of the music business and expresses his eagerness to adapt to the changes. In a recent interview with Hip TV, he reveals plans to collaborate with emerging talents on his upcoming album, “Entertainer,” a successor to his acclaimed 2008 album, “The Entertainer.”
D’banj reflects on his pioneering role in international collaborations, emphasizing the shift in dynamics from artists merely granting favors to a more equitable partnership. He highlights the significance of his past collaborations in inspiring aspiring artists and expresses pride in his contributions to the industry's growth.
Looking ahead, D’banj expresses his desire to work with promising local talents, including Ayra Starr, Rema, Ruger, and Don Jazzy, recognizing collaboration as the new paradigm of competition in the music industry.
