A Nigerian artist taking Afrobeats in new directions

DJ Edu chats to Oxlade, one of the next generation of Nigerian artists taking Afrobeats in new directions.

Oxlade is one of the next generation of Nigerian artists taking Afrobeats in new directions. He tells DJ Edu how much determination it has taken to become the successful artist he is today. His church-going grandma kicked him out when he refused to give up his dream of making secular music. He had to do odd jobs and sleep on studio floors for three years before he finally got a break.  Thankfully his grandma is now his number one fan.
