Peller noted that the Nigerian music sector, which produces over 550 albums annually, must be strengthened to aid the country’s economic growth.
He said, “The late Fela Anikulapo-Kuti; Damini Ogulu, popularly called Burna Boy; David Adeleke also known as Davido and others are major actors in the Nigerian music industry who made and are still making the country proud globally with their record-breaking feats. “At the global level, late Anikulapo-Kuti is perhaps the most iconic musician to have come out of Nigeria until recently when Burna Boy, a Nigerian singer and songwriter won best international act at the 2019 BET Awards and was also nominated for the best world music Album at 62nd Annual Grammy Awards. He also won Best International Act at the 2021 BET Awards.
“Recently, top Nigerian artist Davido’s album titled ‘Timeless’ has featured over 10 million user-generated playlists on Spotify. Also, the album had over 12 million streams in 24 hours, this was the first time an album would achieve such a feat.” He added.All rights reserved.
