Wizkid

Following collaborations with Drake and millions of streams, WizKid's global potential is about to be realised. Whilst the artist himself is purely focussed on making music, the Afro-Pop he pioneers has already been co-opted by multiple global superstars and is the go-to sound for summer '17. Taking inspiration from hip-hop, contemporary pop, Afrobeat, dancehall and reggaeton, WizKid's summer mixtape Sounds From The Other Side marks a turning point not just for an artist, but for the global pop phenomenon.

Here he shares the songs that inspired the release.
