Rising Afrobeats act, Davflx, is steadily becoming one of the fresh voices coming out of Lagos with a sound rooted in street culture and global appeal,with his ‘Emergency’ hit run in 2024, now set to storm 2026 with a banger, ‘Monalisa’.
Born Ighodaro David Akaya on July 17, 1999, the Edo State–born artist was raised in Ojo, Lagos, where he developed his love for music at a young age.
Growing up, Davflx was actively involved in church, where he spent time in the music and drama departments, experiences that helped shape his confidence, performance energy, and melodic style. Influenced by the everyday hustle of Lagos life and a mix of Afrobeats, Dancehall, and contemporary African sounds, he began crafting a sound that blends catchy melodies with street-inspired rhythms.
Davflx officially stepped into the music scene in 2023 with his debut single “Vibration,” an energetic Afrobeats/Dancehall record that introduced him to a growing audience and earned him early buzz. He followed up with “Currency,” a vibrant street anthem that quickly gained traction across Lagos and resonated with listeners across Nigeria and beyond.
