October 21, 2022 Victony Is Nigeria’s First-Ever Spotify Singles Artist

Victony, a rising Nigerian musician and Spotify RADAR Africa graduate, is releasing the country's first-ever Spotify Single, a rendition of Davido's "Dami Duro." The cover, which is only accessible on Spotify, is a disco-inspired take on Davido's legendary decade-old party hit.

Victony made his debut on the music world with his mixtape 'The Outlaw King.' He began making Rap music and has now evolved into a diversified combination of Afrobeats, R&B, Trap, and Afropop sounds.

In 2021, he continued to convert ears with critically praised hits such as 'Pray' and Mayorkun's smash tune, 'Holy Father.' Outlaw EP, published in May of this year, featured the contemplative single 'Kolomental' and the viral smash, 'Soweto,' which have collected millions of listens on Spotify.

'Dami Duro', the breakout smash by Davido, is a song that’s familiar to just about every Afrobeats fan. Released in 2012 on his debut album, 'Omo Baba Olowo', the track is still a staple at Afrobeats raves and club nights across Africa.

Speaking about the importance of the song, Victony says:

“Dami Duro is a really beautiful song by Davido. My favorite part of the track is the hook. It’s very audacious, it’s so powerful. I really, really love that. With the Spotify Singles version, we wanted to do something really different to make it more of a classic and give it this disco feel - I’d say ‘Grandpa Ebelebe’ style.”

To celebrate the legacy of Nigeria’s rich music history, Spotify is unveiling reimagined renditions of what many consider modern-day Nigerian classics, performed by selected artists. A first for Spotify Africa, the covers reflect Spotify’s commitment to being the global hub for the discovery and growth of Nigerian music.
