Wizkid

The multiple award-winning superstar has not only etched his name on the sands of time as one of the greatest music stars to come out of Africa but it is certain that he is not far from breaking boundaries yet.

Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun (born 16 July 1990), also known as Wizkid is a Nigerian singer and songwriter. He began recording music at the age of 11 and managed to release a collaborative album with the Glorious Five, a group he and a couple of his church friends formed.

Wizkid signed a record deal with Empire Mates Entertainment (E.M.E) in 2009.

He rose to prominence after releasing “Holla at Your Boy“, the lead single from his debut studio album Superstar (2011). In 2016, Wizkid achieved international recognition following his collaboration with Drake on the global hit, “One Dance”, which reached number one in 15 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia.

Star boy Wizzy as he is sometimes called, is one of the biggest artists that has ever come out of Africa.

The singer is currently one of the richest artistes in the continent with a net worth of over 20 Million Dollars. He has the biggest record label deal yet by an African music act with his 2016 deal with RCA Records as reported by Billboard.

Wizkid also made history by being the first African artiste to sell out the O2 Arena in London… twice. The Nigerian singer also became the first African artiste to headline a sold-out show at the Royal Albert Hall.

The epitome of talent and a music icon, Starboy Wizkid, turns 30 today and we at Tooxcluisve are ecstatic to have the privilege to celebrate this special day. So dearest Wizkid,  Happy birthday !! We hope you continue to serve us hits back to back.
