Singer and actress, Yinka Davies, was one of the guests on City Magazine’s Insta-live interview as she shared a couple of amazing facts about her, the entertainment industry, projects, motherhood, life at fifty and a lot more.
Yinka Davies is a Nigerian vocalist, dancer, lyricist and judge of reality show, Nigerian Idol. Yinka has been in the Nigerian entertainment industry for 28 years.
Speaking in a 2019 interview about herself, the energetic singer said:
In the 70s and the 80s, my daddy had all sorts of records which he gladly played as much as he could at home. So when we saw this, it was screams at home, ‘Look at these African artistes.’
You know, the music album covers of those days were so uniquely African. You recall Fela Anikulapo Kuti’s album covers, for instance, with its designs.
And on one of such music album covers, I saw the Arts Theatre and we went on excursion there from Our Lady of Apostles Secondary School where I was.
During that excursion, I was at the National Arts Theatre, which I used to see before then, only on television. That made my day. And I told everyone, ‘I am not going anywhere anymore.’
