Davido Biography

The Background Story You Don’t Know Davido was 16 Years Old when he had arrived
in Huntsville, a year earlier.

His father, Dr. Adedeji Adeleke , a well-known businessman and Seventh-day
Adventist in Nigeria with an estimated net worth of over $300 million , dropped
him off with his passport, $2,000 cash, and freshman registration documents for
Oakwood University, a historically black Christian college.

(People often attach the honorific ‘Chief’ to Dr. Adeleke’s name, referring to
his wealth and power, largely earned through his founding of Pacific Holdings,
a company that deals in steel, oil, gas, and more.)

Davido had already spent time in the U.S.—he was born in Atlanta, and sometimes
visited in the summer—but much about life in the States was new to him. “That
was the first time I had a phone in America.

There was unlimited calling. I never saw nothing like that before,” he
remembers. “In Nigeria, you gotta pay before you get what you want.”

The school roomed him with another international student,
a Rwandan track athlete—“I was like, ‘Okay, wow.

They just put all the African people together?’”—but he
gravitated toward an upstairs neighbor named Jaymo, an American kid whose
speakers constantly rattled Davido’s ceiling. “One day, I went to go check what
the noise was.

I went upstairs, opened the door, and the guy had a full studio in his room,”
he says. “I told him that I was trying to do music, too.
He asked me, ‘How much do you have to invest in equipment?’ And I said,
‘$2,000.’ He was like, ‘That’s too much.’” They went to Guitar Center with
$500.

From then on, Davido spent most of his time making beats and recording vocal
references to send to a cousin in Lagos, a fellow musician with a trove of
industry contacts.

His grades slipped, and after three semesters, he dropped out and left town
without telling his father.

First he went to Atlanta, where he used his older brother’s ID to get into
clubs, and funneled the money Chief Adeleke sent for school and living expenses
toward drinks and motels.

Later, he threw out his SIM card and hopped on a plane London, where he went
MIA for several months as he shifted his focus from production to vocals.

“There was no Snapchat, no Instagram. There was barely Twitter,” he says. “I just
went off the radar.”

Chief Adeleke, meanwhile, had been on the hunt for his son. When Davido finally
returned to Lagos in 2011, with new tattoos and piercings, his father had him
apprehended by police officers at the airport.

Having failed to bring home the business management degree he’d been sent to
America to complete, Davido reached a compromise with his father: he, still a
teenager, would attend a private university two hours north of the city.

His music dreams would be sidelined until he had honored his family by
graduating. Davido returned to school, but often snuck out of his dorm room to
hobnob at industry parties and blew off exams to record.

Work on Davido’s debut studio album, Omo Baba Olowo, began in 2011. On May 7,
2011, Davido produced and released his first musical recording “Back When ”.

The song served as the album’s lead single and received frequent airplay. The music video for the single, uploaded onto YouTube on May 9, 2011, was shot
and directed in Nigeria by Clarence Peters. Davido told Factory 78 TV that he
recorded “Back When” in London.
