The Inspiring Journey of Wizkid: From Studio Rat to Global Star.
In a recent viral video, renowned music executive Banky W shared a compelling insight into the early career of international superstar Wizkid. Reflecting on Wizkid’s initial struggles before attaining fame, Banky W emphasized the artist’s unwavering dedication to his craft during a challenging period.
Banky W, who played a crucial role in launching Wizkid’s career through his record label, Empire Mates Entertainment (EME), recalled that Wizkid spent countless hours in various recording studios simply to hone his skills. Lacking the financial means to book studio time, Wizkid became what Banky affectionately referred to as a “studio rat.” He would frequent studios, hoping to seize any opportunity to record, often waiting patiently for engineers and producers to allow him a fleeting moment in the spotlight.
During these sessions, Wizkid worked relentlessly on hooks and melodies, preparing for the chance to showcase his talent. His practice was born out of necessity; unable to afford the luxury of time, he developed a unique process of spontaneous creativity. Banky W noted, “He didn’t have time to think about what to write at the moment, so that became his process.” This relentless work ethic ultimately shaped Wizkid into one of the most prolific songwriters in the industry today.
Wizkid’s journey from a hopeful aspiring artist to a global icon serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of resilience and dedication. As Banky W observed, “Now he is one of the fastest songwriters that I have ever encountered.” The legacy of his early experiences is evident in the profound impact Wizkid has made on the music world, inspiring countless others with his remarkable talent and story.
