Nigerian singer and songwriter Sodiq Onifade, popularly known as Wurld has narrated how he penned the song ‘Blow My Mind’ for Davido.
According to the ‘Contagious’ crooner, he wrote the track, which was later released by Davido featuring American R&B star Chris Brown in 2019.”
Speaking in a recent interview with 3Music TV, Accra, Ghana, WurlD said he gave the duo the song because it was “a song I didn’t have a use for at the time.”
He said: “It wasn’t planned. I was in Lagos promoting my project, ‘Love Is Contagious’, and I got a call from my guy, producer Shizzi… It was even one of those things I didn’t plan for because I was gonna use the song myself. I wanted to get some features on the record, but I was promoting a new project, and I didn’t have time.
“I didn’t have a use for ‘Blow My Mind’ at that time. Davido and Chris Brown, it’s just a beautiful thing to lend my art with another artist and at the same time see how well the song is done.”
Born in Lagos, Nigeria, WurlD relocated to Atlanta, Georgia to pursue a secondary education and record music. He describes his style of music as electro-fusion. He released his debut EP Evolution in 2013.
