Afrobeat singer and songwriter, Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe, widely known as Kizz Daniel, has revealed the kind of relationship he had with his late father.
Speaking in a podcast interview, he shared how the death of his late father had inspired his song ‘Al-Jannah’.
According to him, ‘When my dad was alive, he was my best friend’, Kizz Daniel said.
‘Al-Jannah’ means ‘paradise’. I wanted to write a tribute song. We’ve lost people in the past. We lost our son in 2021.
I lost my dad in 2015; my wife lost her mum in 2024; I lost my step-mum; we lost a whole lot of people.
I wanted to make a song for everyone, not just one person. It’s about our loved ones we have lost in this journey of life.
‘I think I was able to accomplish that by using the word friend in the song’, he said.
Kizz Daniel lost his father on the 9th of May, 2015, just a few days after his 21st birthday.
