Nigerian Afropop star Chike talks to DJ Edu about his latest album, Son of Chike.

Nigerian Afropop singer and songwriter Chike studied computer science but after graduating he decided to pursue his passion for music. In 2015, he finished 10th in the singing competition Project Fame West Africa; a year later, he was runner-up in The Voice, and in 2020 he topped Nigeria’s iTunes charts with his debut album Boo of the Booless. He’s also tried his hand at acting, starring in TV soap opera Battleground and the Gangs of Lagos film. In June 2024 he performed at the power couple wedding of musical superstar Davido and celebrity chef Chioma. And he’s just dropped another body of work – Son of Chike.
