Afrobeats fans, this one’s worth your time. Magixx is the latest guest on Afrobeats Intelligence, the podcast hosted by Joey Akan and presented by Martell, and the conversation goes deep.

What he talks about

According to OkayAfrica’s write-up of the episode, Magixx looks back on growing up in tough circumstances and on his early performances at the University of Lagos. He also opens up about losing his mother just as his career was starting to take shape, and about the responsibility he feels to provide for his family.

The thread running through it all, OkayAfrica says, is brutal self-honesty: being straight with himself about where he stands, and using that to keep pushing. The outlet sums up his message as “don’t allow life to negotiate your dreams for you”.

Where to listen

The full episode is out now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube under Afrobeats Intelligence. It’s a good listen for anyone who wants the story behind the songs, and a reminder of how much work sits behind every breakthrough in the Afrobeats scene.
