One of the biggest news that hit the Social media this week is the g of Johnny Drille under Don Jazzy's record label, Mavins Records. A lot of music enthusiasts envisaged this for Johnny, but not so many people thought he would be under clinched by the music mogul himself.

All we knew was that Johnny Drille would one day get massive and be known all over the world. And today, his long time dream of being a popular super-star has just been brought to life by Don Jazzy.

We can confidently say Johnny Drille has spent his whole (music) life listening to country/folk song.

He released a song in the year 2015. And when you listen, you will surely be of the opinion that the song still has so much relevance in of contemporary tunes and sounds.


It won't just be an understatement if we mention that this guy is the next pop sensation in Nigeria as well as Africa. He definite infuse the pop culture into the Nigerian sound with so much ease, you would think it's Malik of One Direction singing in pidgin.

He is a suitable candidate for pop export from Africa to the rest of the world, most especially the Western worlds, which surely has a much influence on his type of music.

This is not even a hype, it is certain that Johnny Drille will surely take the Nigerian music industry by storm in the coming few weeks when media tours will commence for him and his new co-signees, DNA, under the stead of the Supreme Mavin Dynasty.

Don Jazzy really made a very good move g this dude, who is an embodiment of talents. Only that one will wonder why it took this long for the deal to be accomplished. Well, now is the best time as everyone has their time.

And who understands the times better, if not the Don himself. Johnny Drille has actually found himself the platform that will catapult him to the world. It is obvious this brother is going to explode. He moved from a little known genius to an instant super star the moment he was announced as a new member of the SMD.

We know the year 2017 is Johnny's year. The combination of his raw talents with Don Jazzy's unique style of management, which even Lagos Business School graduates cannot boast of, will do the Magic.

Even Johnny Drille's previous works, which have been getting a lot of s in the past few hours, will sound archaic by the time he starts dishing out his new sounds under his new management.

It's no surprise that Johnny worked with one of the best producers, especially in the contemporary pop genre, Cobhams Asuquo. But one thing that we can beat our chest to is that his best is just about to be unravelled.

All we can say is Godspeed to “ Johnny Drille ” as he embarks on a the journey of putting out nothing but outstanding Good Music.

Same they said about Korede Bello.

TPAND:
Same they said about Korede Bello.

Can you just take your time to listen to the guys songs

And if Korede wasn't a hit to you... I wonder what you define as HIT

Would this guy find a market for his genre and style of music? I hope he does because this is purely good music and a relief from the nonsense we hear all the time.

My candid advice is that he tones it down with more noticeable African vibes so he doesn't end up like Etcetera. Etcetera did good music but he was too foreign. He did win a couple of awards but he never really harnessed his potentials. Johnny must learn from Asa and Timi Dakolo who are in a class of their own. He must give room for a lot of indigenous melodies in his fine music. Best of luck to him. I am adding him to the short list of Nigerian artistes I listen to.

.

All the best to him

The guy's good... I fell in luv with him(No Homo) when I heard the Final 'outro' track in Vector's "Lafiaji" Album, HERE(outro) ft Johnny Drille.. De chorus carried by Johnny is so cool, sounds sweet and interesting

Artists don plenty fans now sef.

So he's ready to drille the music industry and make it big? Congrats

I encourage everyone to sing. Nothing stops you from singing to life your experiences and memories. It is not just for the money, which ofcourse is the reason most people sing. Just sing, you were not given a voice for quarreling alone. If I choose to invest in music business, I will encourage everyone to sing. The song doesnt have to be excellent, just sing. Music is just the best tool to defragment the mind. Music has done more to humanity, than religion.

The guy is just excellent...

If you love good music then you must lov Johnny drille
