Fast rising musician, Oludipe Oluwasanmi David better known as Spyro has spoken on the inspiration behind his viral track as he reveals that he seeks God’s direction before releasing his songs.
The singer who became a sensation after releasing his hit track ‘Who’s Your Guy‘ made this known while speaking in an interview with Punch. He said that he believes that there is a spiritual and physical part to everything and he ensures that he takes the spiritual part equally serious in his music. Spyro said: “I usually go into God’s presence to seek His face, His blessings and directions, days before releasing any song. I don’t do anything without first enquiring from God. I am of the opinion that there is a physical part to things, and also a spiritual part; so I make sure I take that spiritual part seriously. One needs someone working behind the scenes for one.” On the remix of his popular song, the singer revealed that it had been Tunde Ednut, an Instagram blogger, that had reached out to him to take the song to another level.
He said: “Tunde Ednut (singer-turned-blogger) reached out to me and said we needed to take the song to the next level, and we should do a remix. He asked me who I had in mind. We went through a couple of names together, before agreeing on Tiwa. I chose Tiwa because I knew she would bring in as much value to the song as I thought; and, she actually did. We connected on different levels. She is an amazing person with a good heart, and I love the fact that she is passionate about the things she does. I am happy I made the remix with her.” Speaking on what inspired the ‘Who’s your guy’ song, he said: “It was actually a love song when I first recorded in 2021 as freestyle. However, when I wanted to release it in 2022, I decided to revamp it and make it more relatable to as many people as possible. It’s not just about lovers; ‘one’s guy’ could be anyone, ranging from family and friends.”
Earlier this year, the international sensation made history by being the first Nigerian artist to receive an Oscar nomination.
