Today, we had our exclusive #AMAOTM#(Alutamuzik artiste of the month) Reekado Banks! It was quite revealing and very exciting toouy. Reekado ‘lol-ed’ a lot, so we’re certain that he had a fun-filled time chatting with us.
For those of you who missed it, you can read the chat excerpt off our Twitter handle @alutamusik but in the mean time, here’s a couple new things we learned about our superstar, from our Twitter chat.
On changing his name from ‘Spicy’:
Reekado said the alias had been used by a lot of people already and that his decision to change it marked the start of big things for him. He got the Mavin call just a week after he changed his stage name.

His musical consistency:
“There’s no particular routine, I just get into the studio, do what I can, and you guys love it.”

Favourite Mavin:
Reeky Tom Tom pulled a diplomatic one on us by not mentioning anybody. Not even Don Jazzy! He says he’s in love with the entire Mavin crew.

Comparison to Wizkid:
Apparently Reekado isn’t aware that fans have likened his musical influences to that of Wizkid. He said, “Oh they do?? I think that’s good for me.”

Competition in the Nigerian music industry:

If he weren’t a singer?
“I’d be working wherever I find myself. Lol. Truth is, I never made plans for any other thing asides music ?”

Lasting strategy:
“There’s no other strategy greater than putting one’s work in God’s hands, Working, taking advice and helping others.”
