Davido Music Becomes First Ever Book Written About An African Artist, Now Live On Amazon

In a landmark moment for African literature and pop culture, Nigerian author Wtr Gideon Tobiloba has released “Davido: The Voice and the Sound Called Music” – a powerful, immersive book that captures the extraordinary life, journey, and impact of David Adedeji Adeleke, globally known as Davido.

Described as “a living experience rather than a reading experience,” the book invites readers to step into the world of Davido – to feel his rhythm, walk through his struggles, celebrate his triumphs, and understand the sound that changed the world.

In a statement issued in Abuja, yesterday, author Wtr Gideon Tobilo said this historic work stands as the first ever book written about an African music artist, marking a new era in how African creatives are documented and celebrated.

Tobilo noted that “Davido is more than a musician; he is an ideology,” writes Hilary Damissah, Media Strategist and Project Manager of the Ghana–Nigeria Culture & Tourism Showcase.

“He has redefined what it means to be an African creative in a world that once demanded we sound like others before we could be heard. He has shown us that authenticity is power, that culture is exportable, and that our stories-when told with truth and passion-can conquer any boundary. His voice carries the weight of millions who dream, strive, and dare to be seen.”

Published under FuturePredict Enterprises, Davido: The Voice and the Sound Called Music chronicles the superstar’s evolution from his early years to his global breakthrough – exploring his 5ive Alive World Tour, Timeless album, humanitarian projects, and his legacy as a generational force in Afrobeats.

“This project is not just about music; it’s about documenting African greatness. Davido personally requested for his copy, and I intend to present others to Chief Adedeji Adeleke, Governor Ademola Adeleke, Adewale Adeleke, Aliko Dangote, Femi Otedola, and a select few members of the 30BG family who represent the spirit of loyalty, excellence, and brotherhood.”

“It’s historic. It’s emotional. And it’s a story written in a way that every reader will feel like they are living inside Davido’s world.”

“This book feels bigger than music,” says Tope Awolowo, a Davido fan from Lagos. “It’s a celebration of African identity. I’ve pre-ordered mine already – this is history being made.”

“Davido has always inspired us to dream loud,” adds Martha Osei from Accra. “Now there’s finally a book that tells his story with the same energy he gives us through his music.”

Available now on Amazon, the book is priced at $24.99 (paperback) and $31.99 (hardcover), with worldwide delivery options.
