Davido then goes into his early singles like "Dami Duro" and his rise to fame. He talks about singing to Sony and being pushed to "do 'One Dance' type stuff" which led to his disappointment with his Son of Mercy EP, which received lukewarm reception.
He then goes into how going back home to Nigeria, recording with local producers, and coming out with "If" and "Fall," turned his career around overnight.
Davido, who recently made headlines for enrolling in Nigeria's mandatory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), is playing Irving Plaza tonight in NYC. Some outlets are saying he broke NYSC rulesby flying to the U.S. to perform.
