9. Johnny Drille
The first thing that normally comes to the mind of people when they hear any of Johnny Drille‘s songs is “Is he Nigerian?” Given the very beautiful, soulful voice possessed by this musician, it is usually hard to believe he is a bonafide citizen of Nigeria.
It takes a video of him and a few stumbles on his pidgin words to convince the lot of people that he is indeed part of the Nigerian fold. Because of the unique quality of his voice and the qualitative lyrics of his love songs, the singer signed onto Mavin Records has won the hearts of people all over the world.
Also, he is redefining the concept of love as against what the former construction generally embraced in the Nigerian music scene. For this, his music and collaborations with the likes of Simi and Niniola have found a place in the shores of the world beyond here, beyond now.
