The influence of veteran singer Wande Coal on the career of Nigerian artist Fireboy DML has been lauded.
The ‘Peru’ singer has stated that being in Wande Coal’s presence causes him to “become a child.”
Meeting Wande Coal for the first time was like a dream come true, he said.
According to Fireboy, who recently appeared on the podcast “Is This Seat Taken,” meeting Wande Coal was like a dream.
When he’s there, I’m a whole kid again. An icon, indeed. Thus, it was both a blessing and a bizarre event to meet him.
He stressed again that Wande Coal was his musical inspiration.
On the track “Wande’s Song” from his self-titled fourth studio album “Adedamola,” Fireboy pays tribute to Wande Coal.
