Sadiq “Wurld” Onifade / 33 / Singer, Songwriter & Musician
You’ve made a name for yourself in the international music scene, was this always the goal?
The goal has always been to share good music and a new perspective of the Afrobeat perception to the rest of the world. Everything is happening the way it should, but the main goal is to motivate people.
Your AfroSoul EP is making major waves, what’s the inspiration behind it?
It’s an appreciation. I’m defining Afrobeat in my own way with AfroSoul and looking forward to sharing more experiences.
Got a favourite song on the EP?
They are all my babies.
Which artist would you love to work with at the moment?
Coldplay, Asa and Kendrick Lamar
How has your work life changed due to the Covid-19 pandemic?
Everything is digital and I’m spending more time in the studio. I miss performing for my fans but it has kept me more focused on creating music.
The most important thing you’ve learnt in your career so far?
Patience and consistency.
What does music mean to you?
Music is an escape. It’s my number one escape that gets me through daily life struggles.
You and Sarz gave fans the EP ‘I Love Girls With Trobul’, how was that received?
That was a moment in Afrobeat history that we made, I’m grateful that fans back home and abroad accepted and are still accepting it.
Any new projects you’re working on?
Yes, I’m working on some new stuff. I’ll be sharing details on my social media platforms soon. Cant’ wait, working on collaborations as well.
