Emerging musician Fadu is poised to make her mark with a distinctive blend of genres and cultures. Fadu’s exposure to diverse musical styles within her own family and through social media has shaped her artistic vision.
From a young age, Fadu found solace and inspiration in music, initially exploring her passion through singing and later mastering the guitar. Her eclectic musical upbringing, influenced by her mother’s love for Afro-soul, her father’s penchant for Reggae and RandB, and her brother’s devotion to Hip-hop, laid the foundation for her unique sound.
Fadu’s immersion in Afrobeats, fueled by admiration for artistes such as P-Square, Becca, and Tiwa Savage, further solidified her artistic direction.
Reflecting on her musical journey, Fadu expressed a desire to not only contribute to the Afrobeats genre but also to push its boundaries and elevate it to new heights.
“I want to introduce a new sound and conquer the world,” Fadu shared in a video. “I can give a different type of sound; not the ones yo
u’re used to but still elevate Afrobeats if it makes sense. A little of everything.”
Her ambition to innovate within the genre is evident in her upcoming releases. Fadu revealed that she has two songs in the pipeline-a vibrant Amapiano track and a soulful fusion of Afrobeats and RandB. Through these compositions, she aims to showcase her versatility while staying true to her African roots.
Despite having travelled to Ghana, Fadu, a Ghanaian-Nigerian based in the Netherlands, is yet to explore Nigeria, is yet to explore Nigeria, another epicentre of Afrobeats culture. However, her admiration for the genre transcends geographical boundaries, and she is determined to leave an indelible mark on the global music scene.
With aspirations to be counted among the trailblazers who have elevated Afrobeats to international prominence, Fadu’s journey is one of passion, creativity, and determination.
