2024 sees award-winning global music superstar KIZZ DANIEL marking a decade at the top of afrobeats music, and the Nigerian sensation is excited to be commemorating the 10-year milestone with worldwide ‘VADO AT 10’ concert celebrations taking place all over the world throughout the year. Kicking off proceedings in the United Kingdom this May, Kizz Daniel will be taking over the OVO Arena in London on May 6, before taking his ‘Vado At 10’ celebrations to Ireland, Denmark, Poland, Italy, Germany, France, and North America over the summer, and wrapping up the ‘Vado At 10’ proceedings with homecoming concert parties across Africa in the autumn. He sat down with SPIN to talk about the milestone.

The international pop star has also begun 2024 with the biggest song in West Africa already under his belt – his new single ‘Twe Twe’ has amassed over 25 million plays online, while spending the last two weeks at #1 on TurnTable Charts Official Nigeria Top 100. This new single ‘Twe Twe’ comes on the back of the success of Kizz Daniel’s fourth studio album Maverick, which has amassed over 1.5 billion streams, and birthed hit tracks like ‘Cough’ featuring Latin pop sensation Becky G, and 2022’s afrobeats song of the year ‘Buga’, which the Vice President of Nigeria has described as the country’s second National Anthem, having amassed over half a billion plays online.

Since bursting onto the scene with his cult-classic debut single ‘Woju’ in 2014, Kizz Daniel has continued to lead from the front when it comes to afrobeats music. His debut album New Era was The Headies’ ‘Album of the Year’ in 2016, while he was nominated for The Future Awards Africa the following year. Driven by the massive hit track ‘Necessari’, Kizz Daniel’s 2018 sophomore album ‘No Bad Songz’ topped the iTunes World Album Chart on its first day of release. Since 2020, the Nigerian sensation has released three critically acclaimed projects, King Of Love, Barnabas, and Maverick, birthing essential afropop tracks like ‘Boys Are Bad’, ‘Lie’, and ‘Rich Till I Die’.
