Afrobeats sensation David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has secured a prestigious spot on King’s Music Room, an exclusive playlist personally curated by King Charles III to celebrate artists from across the Commonwealth.
The playlist, which features musical icons like Bob Marley, Kylie Minogue, Grace Jones, and Raye, showcases the monarch’s diverse musical tastes while reinforcing Davido’s expanding global influence.
In a statement released by Buckingham Palace on Friday, King Charles III reflects on the power of music, stating:
“Throughout my life, music has meant a great deal to me. It has a remarkable ability to bring back happy memories, provide confidence in times of sadness, and transport us to distant places”
“Above all, it can lift our spirits to an incredible degree. In other words, it brings us joy. I wanted to share the songs that bring me joy, as it seemed an interesting and meaningful way to celebrate Commonwealth Day.”
The King’s Music Room playlist will be available exclusively on Apple Music in celebration of Commonwealth Day 2025, set for March 11.
While Davido’s specific song selection remains undisclosed, fans eagerly anticipate its official release, marking another milestone for Afrobeats on the global stage.
