Mavin Records artiste, and Dorobucci lead singer, Reekado Banks is one of
the promising artistes that is bound to rule the Nigerian music scene in
future. In this interview with WG, Reekado opens up on what transpired
between him and UNILAG students, which resulted in the smashing of his
windscreen recently.
He also put the record straight,
declaring that he does not see
the likes of Lil Kesh, Kiss Daniel
and Godwin crooner, Korede
Bello as potential threats to his
blossoming career in music.
According to him, while he
respects their individual talent,
they do not in any way pose a
serious threat to his becoming a
superstar.

What inspire your trending song
“Corner”?
It’s just a flirting song which
basically talks about how to
woo a girl. The song is just for
fun. And you won’t believe that
within the period the song was
released, it has already over
twenty thousand views online.
Are you working on any project at the moment?
I’m concentrating on promoting the video of my latest single “Corner”
including two other songs, “Sugar Baby” and “Tomorrow”.
Your song “ Katapot” sounds more like an aggressive song, what actually
inspired it?
“Katapot” has no element of beef or violent at all. What inspires each and
every of my song is simply to reach out to different people at a particular
time.
Traces of aggressiveness
And if you listen to the song, ‘Katapot”, you would observe that you can
relate it to anything like love, life and everything around you. So, there is no
trace of aggressiveness in the song. I am a songwriter and I can just write
anything.
How did you get signed to Mavin record label?
It all started after Don Jazzy announced on the internet that artistes should
send in their demos. My brother stumbled on the announcement as he
quickly sent my demos to him. Luckily, I was selected out of about five
thousand people that sent in theirs.
