Wizkid got signed to Empire Mates Entertainment, a label owned by Nigeria’s top R&B act, Banky W in 2009 and featured prominently on Banky’s “The W Experience” album. At the age of 20, this extremely talented and charming young man has already achieved so much, thanks to his drive and focus for turning his life’s experiences into incredible music. The year 2010 proved to be a defining year for Wizkid, as he released five (5) singles, one hit after the other until he became a household name in schools, work places, on the streets, in other parts of Africa and internationally.
