DMW First Lady and Afropop singer, Abdulsalam Suliyat Modasola popularly known as Liya has revealed how she got signed to Davido’s DMW records label.
The Afropop diva disclosed this in a new interview with popular Vlogger, The Petite Talker.
According to the “Alari” star, Davido signed her to his DMW record label after just 5 hours of their first meeting.
Liya had met Davido at the club through Peruzzi and after playing a couple of her songs for him, he was hooked.
Liya got signed to DMW Records about a year ago, immediately dropping a new single titled Melo with her new boss.
In January, Davido announced that work had started on the singer’s debut project and there was no pressure for her to deliver at all. In August, Liya dropped her debut EP titled Alari.
Alari, a Yoruba word for “Standout”, sees the DMW first lady showcase her talent over six tracks rooted in her Yoruba culture and heritage.
The EP also features label boss and Afrobeat’s poster-boy Davido on the second track titled Lakiribito.
