Since bursting onto the Afropop scene in the summer of 2014 with the smash hit “Woju,” Kizz Daniel has not slowed down.
Now following his stellar musical offerings in the past few months, he emerges as the most prolific act of the first quarter, according to data from Turntable Charts (Nigeria’s Billboard equivalent).
Unlike many others, though, he doesn’t try to claim the top spot. Instead, his strategy has always been sticking to what he does best; flooding the Afropop scene with dazzling masterpieces.
His last EP “Barnabas,” released towards the end of 2021, is the paragon of his commitment to delivering anytime he’s putting something out.
Speaking to Turntable a while ago, Kizz Daniel said:
I just put out music when I feel good about it. And there’s no pressure because I’m not trying to impress anyone. If you have a body of work, you put it out. Barnabas is doing so well right now and it wasn’t particularly planned. I was supposed to drop an album, Afro-Classic. But there was some hold up with some international songs on the album.
This year, the blistering success of “Barnabas” has kept Kizz Daniel’s impressive run going, dominating charts across the country. From being an ever-present canon on the Apple Music charts to dominating the Audiomack and Boomplay charts respectively, its exploits have been unprecedented.
A testament of his star power is his feature (alongside Tiwa Savage) on 1da’s viral tune “No Wahala,” which rocketed to the ranks of the Top Ten hits in the country following the remix.
