I’ve never searched for a job because… – Davido

Afrobeats star, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido has disclosed why he has never searched for a job or wrote a curriculum vitae (CV).

The Grammy-nominated singer, who is a graduate of Business Administration from Oakland University, Alabama revealed he had the opportunity to pursue a corporate career but chose to follow his passion for music instead.

Sharing his unconventional journey to the music industry, Davido acknowledged his privileged background but stressed that his music career was a personal choice.

He said, “I am living proof of a successful person after school. I feel like I should share my experience. Obviously, I went into the entertainment world after school. But I have friends and siblings, and my father has a company. We also have a school, Adeleke University, from which students graduate. We also have companies that we recruit students after school.

“I did school for about five years because I had to take a break because of my music. I have been following my dream. I come from a family where after you go to school you go directly to work. Either you work for my dad or find work elsewhere. I was the one that went another route.

“For my siblings, I have seen how their lives have been after school. Some became successful quickly, and some took time. I personally did not do a CV. My brother works in a department in our company where he recruits students. Most of them come from the university. I have seen how people detail CVs here in Nigeria.”
