“I don’t have a tattoo on my body because I am skeptical if music doesn’t work, I will carry my files and go back to office work.” he said.
However, by refusing to conform to the typical musician aesthetic, he ensures that a transition back to a formal, corporate environment remains seamless if music doesn’t work out.
As of 2024, Shoday had established a formidable presence on Spotify, racking up over 19 million overall streams, drawing in more than 1 million monthly listeners, and building a loyal following of over 140,000 fans.
His transition from a digital content creator to a standout name in the Afrobeat landscape highlights both his natural ability and his dedication to the craft.
Driven by a rapidly growing audience and a string of hit tracks, he has consistently charmed listeners with his infectious hooks and deeply relatable songwriting.
This impressive momentum firmly cements his reputation as one of Nigeria’s most exciting and promising musical prospects.
