As a guest of his US manager Richardine Bartee (Recording Academy member), Nigerian star Oxlade attends the 64th Annual GRAMMY Award ceremony at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Oxlade has built a solid profile over the past two years thanks to his colourful yet edgy image, a fiercely addictive Afropop sound and a sexy, carefree attitude. Oxlade is becoming a prominent figure globally with a strong following on social media. Living up to his ambition, the song is tailored for a global audience for an artist that has the potential of becoming one of the biggest music exports from Nigeria.
āAnyone who listens can connect to my lyrics, and in turn, it connects me with anyone who is listening. My music is for people who take what Iām saying personally because it truly is representative of day-to-day life.ā [Oxlade]
Lagos native Nigerian artist Oxalde broke out on a global stage a couple of years ago with the hit āAwayā from his OXYGENE EP. With no more than two four-line verses, a pair of lovely pre-hooks and a sunny chorus, this gospel Afrobeats track shared by the likes of Drake or Naomi Campbell was named one of the āTop 50 songs of the year 2020ā by Rolling Stone making Oxlade the only Nigerian artist featured on that list.
Barteeās other musical guests included Konvict Kulture artist TeeManay, the āKing of Malawi musicā Tay Grin, and SiriusXMās DJ Anarchy. Andy Alexis, fellow GRUNGECAKE publicist and entertainment writer, accompanied her with her talent.
Oxladeās new music video forāWant Youā is out now. Check it out.
