Papa By Johnny Drille

Afro-folk artiste signed onto Mavin Records, Johnny Drille, unveils his new single ‘Papa’ which exemplifies the Godly teaching a father passes to his son.

A poignant ode to fathers, the lyrics tackle his feelings of missing home after leaving his hometown of Benin City for Lagos as he reflects on how his father’s wisdom continues to guide him.

“After I moved to another city I realized how much I wanted to be with family,” explains the Nigerian singer, songwriter and producer. “It’s been two years since I left home and Pa’s words still resonate in me, they keep me going. Fathers deserve more appreciation than they get.”

Drille is hopeful that he can inspire musicians across the continent to branch out and explore sounds that aren’t trendy. “I hope my music breaks barriers and stereotypes and in years to come and even after I’m gone will remain.”

A deeply personal ballad, ‘Papa’ is a sentimental track that sees Johnny engage with his listeners on a number of levels.
