I See Myself Working With Drake In The Next 3 years- Yung Wills
Sharing how music started for him he said,
“It started in the church, i pray drums and keyboard and from there i started having interest in production and i started producing from secondary school actually.
“By the time i got to uni, i realized people were buying beats from me, at least 30k then. So i felt like for me to get to this point where people are buying my beat that means i have something.
“When i finished uni and went back to Abuja i noticed that people were really getting into my sound. I started getting advice from friends to move to Lagos.
“I was scared at first but i thank God i made that decision and came to Lagos. From there i met Falz and that was how i made my first big song ” Sweet Boy” and then ‘Talk’, ‘I Feel Good’ and now ‘Give Dem’.
Talking about his expectations and where he sees himself he said,
“I see myself in the next three-four years in that big global stage working with the likes of Drake, Chris Brown and the rest.
“Afrobeat right now is in a big space and a lot of things are happening not just for the artist but for the producers as well, so i would say i am very hopeful.
“I mean the growth of Afrobeat is very inspiring because nobody saw it coming and they’re just letting everybody know that afrobeat is actually up. We are next.
