Wizkid’s Career Starts and Early Life

Wizkid, a Nigerian musician, hails from Surulere in Lagos State. He grew up around females. Wizkid was raised in a family of 12 female siblings.

Ayodeji Balogun, also known as Wizkid, started his music career at the tender age of 11.

Surprisingly though, Ayodeji Balogun was not famous before he discovered Starboy. He called himself Lil Prinz and became a starboy in 2006.

In an interview with Adesope from Factory 78 T.V., the superstar revealed some details about his life. He said he started a group called Glorious Five with a friend right inside the church. Later, it was revealed that the group had released an album.

Glorious Five did not reach the top after their debut album was released. They eventually disbanded and stopped functioning.

Wizkid, a veteran star, co-wrote Banky W’s music titled “Omoge You Too Much,” which was part of the W Experience album.

Wizkid has worked with many great artists, such as Naeto C and O.J.B. Jezreel.

The surulere-born artist has been associated with many Record Labels. However, he decided to focus exclusively on music and dropped out of Lagos State University (LASU).

Starboy was also present at the recording of Sound of Sultan’s debut album Jagbajantis.

Wizkid is proud of his achievements but still remembers Naeto C as a coach when he was 15.

Wizkid told factory 78 T.V. that his parents were unwilling to give him a go at the beginning of his career.
