“If Not Music, Then Journalism”- Davido Reveals Hidden Passion –


  • Davido, recently gave an interview on The Beat 96.1 FM in Atlanta.
  • He revealed that if he had not pursued music, he would have likely chosen a career in journalism.
  • This insight highlights his diverse interests beyond music.

In a recent interview with The Beat 96.1 FM in Atlanta, United States, Nigerian music sensation and DMW boss Davido shared a surprising revelation—if he hadn’t pursued a career in music, he believes he would have ended up in journalism.

The Unavailable hitmaker opened up about his daily routine and his love for staying informed.

“I am a very informative person. If you see me at home, I am always researching something. When I wake up, I check the news. I got CNN downstairs,” he said.

Davido went on to explain that his strong communication skills and passion for sharing information could have naturally led him into the media world.

“I feel like if I were not in music, I would be doing journalism. I can talk; some people don’t. I like people to know what I am working on.”

Touching on why he remains hands-on with promoting his music, even as one of Africa’s top music exports, Davido emphasized his passion for connecting with people and marketing his brand.

“Because I like having conversations. A lot of people don’t know that apart from a Business Administration degree, I studied Marketing too. I like to market myself. I like to talk. If I have a podcast, I will talk for days. Doing promo is part of being an artist. A lot of people just sit and let things work for them. I am not like that. I work so hard.”
