NPR Music's Tiny Desk series is marking Black History Month with a special lineup of Black artists hosting Tiny Desk (home) concerts. Among the featured artists is Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Davido, who delivered an intimate four-song performance from his Lagos estate. Davido, born David Adedeji Adeleke, is a highly influential figure in the Afrobeats scene, alongside Burna Boy and Wizkid, credited with globalizing the genre.

Davido's concert showcased his musical journey, including a unique rendition of his 2013 hit "Gobe." Born in Atlanta and raised in Lagos, Davido's rise to fame began with his debut studio album Omo Baba Olowo in 2012, featuring hits like "Dami Duro" and "All of You." His success continued with singles like "If" and "Fall," with the latter making history as the longest-charting Nigerian pop song on the Billboard charts.

Having signed with Sony Music and establishing Davido Music Worldwide, he has solidified his presence in the music industry. Recognized as a cultural ambassador for Nigeria and a vocal advocate for human rights in Africa, Davido's impact extends beyond music. His recent accomplishments include appearing on Time magazine's Time 100 Next List and receiving multiple Grammy and NAACP Image Awards nominations.

Davido's performance at the Tiny Desk concert not only displayed his musical talent but also highlighted his significant contributions to the global music landscape. His unique style, blend of influences, and commitment to advocating for important issues make him a standout artist in the industry.
