Bloody Louis presents Wizkid
WizKid’s full-on introduction to U.S. audiences couldn’t come at a better time since 2016 truly established his prominence on the international scene. MTV EMA named him Best Worldwide Act. The British MOBO Awards recognized WizKid as Best African Act, while at the MTV MAMA Awards he won Best Collaboration, Best Male Artist and Artist of the Year. Another confirmation of WizKid’s global popularity is that he is the first Nigerian musician to be featured on Billboard and the first musician to reach one million followers on Twitter.
Although Afro-Beat’s undulating rhythms can be heard throughout his music, WizKid is reluctant to define his musical style. “It’s hard for me to describe what I do,” he says, “since I work with rhythms from Afro-Beat, reggae, hip-hop, dance hall and others. What’s important to me is for music to be real, authentic, raw and timeless. I don’t wanna be boxed in to any one genre.”
