Mayorkun – For Daddy
Mayorkun – For Daddy

Tremendously skilled Nigerian musician and Davido Music Worldwide (DMW) signee, Mayorkun has captured the attention of music fans with his brand-new catchy song “For Daddy.”

Mayorkun, whose real name is Adewale Mayowa Emmanuel, is a Nigerian singer, songwriter, and performer. He was born on March 23, 1994, in Osun State, Nigeria. Mayorkun gained prominence in the Nigerian music industry after he released his debut single, “Eleko,” in 2016. The song became an instant hit and garnered significant attention, earning him a record deal with Davido Music Worldwide (DMW), a record label owned by popular Nigerian artist Davido.

Mayorkun’s musical style can be described as a fusion of Afrobeat, pop, and contemporary Nigerian sounds. His smooth vocals, catchy melodies, and relatable lyrics have contributed to his success in the industry. He has released several hit singles, including “Mama,” “Che Che,” “Bobo,” and “Posh,” which have further solidified his status as a prominent artist in Nigeria.

In 2018, Mayorkun released his debut studio album titled “The Mayor of Lagos,” which received positive reviews and featured collaborations with notable artists such as Sarkodie, Davido, and D’banj. The album showcased his versatility and ability to create diverse musical experiences.

Mayorkun has won numerous awards for his contributions to Nigerian music, including the Headies Award for “Next Rated” in 2018 and the City People Music Award for “Most Promising Act of the Year” in 2017. He has also been nominated for various other prestigious awards both within Nigeria and internationally.

With his talent, charisma, and energetic stage presence, Mayorkun has established himself as one of the leading voices in the Nigerian music scene. His music continues to resonate with a wide audience, both in Nigeria and across the African continent.

Additionally, his previously released songs “Alarm” and “Oshey Boys,” which were thrillers, serve as a companion piece to this recently released thriller.

Mayorkun is the stage name of Nigerian singer, songwriter, and pianist Adewale Mayowa Emmanuel. Davido the singer noticed him after his cover of his song “The Money” was released.

Eleko, Mayorkun‘s first single, was released in 2016 and was an instant hit. The song earned over a million YouTube views in just ten days.

The smash singles Sade, Yawa, Love You Tire, Mama, and Bobo came after this victory.

He released Mayor Of Lagos, his debut album, in November 2018. He organized his first national tour, known as the Mayor Of Lagos Concert, before the CD was released. In Nigeria, he gave performances at more than 35 colleges and universities.

Because of the plethora of talents rising from the streets, we’ve witnessed a lot of breakthroughs for most of the new musicians that join the market using freestyle videos to demonstrate what they’ve got in store for us.

Following previously released tracks, the well-enchanted song is the most recent entrance this year.

I’m hoping that the success of this album will help the Afro-classic crooner achieve greatness.
