“I made Gyrate, Essence, Soco and Nowo in one night” – Wizkid
Nigerian Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, revealed that he created his hit songs ‘Gyrate,’ ‘Essence,’ ‘Soco,’ and ‘Nowo’ in one night.
Speaking in an interview about the art of music making, he mentioned that most nights, he wakes up and creates two or three hit songs as his spirit leads him.
When asked if he knew ‘Essence’ was going to be a hit song, he replied, saying he knew his song was going to have a huge impact. He said, ‘Hell yeah.’
He went on to add that he even forgot he made a song but when he tweeted that ‘he and Tems made magic,’ it got people’s attention. However, he added that he’s been in the art for 10 years.
