In 2015, the energy inside the Landmark Centre hit a peak when Davido and ace producer Shizzi took the stage for the grand finale of the third edition of NECLive.
NECLive is the Nigerian Entertainment Conference, an annual gathering of creative and entertainment professionals from West Africa and beyond. The conference serves as a platform for dialogue, networking, and providing solutions for the challenges facing the entertainment industry.
For the 3rd edition, participants expected Davido to deliver a routine performance, but instead, he and Shizzi, his producer, gave the audience an exclusive masterclass on how to craft a hit record.
Armed with just a beat machine, creativity, and Davido’s signature flair, they built a track from scratch in real time. In less than 15 minutes, the crowd witnessed a chart-worthy masterpiece come to life—a moment that blurred the line between performance and production.
That electrifying showcase didn’t just close the conference; it cemented Davido’s reputation as an Afrobeats powerhouse and left fans buzzing about the magic of collaboration in music creation.
The multi-talented musician has gone on to drive the Afrobeats to the world movement, becoming a household name in many nations abroad.
As we gear up for NECLive 2025 from November 28–30 at Landmark Centre, anticipation is running high for what the next wave of African entertainment and creative stars will bring to the stage.
