Lady Donli, Maka, Odunsi The Engine Cover Guardian Life Today

Music has its way of evoking certain emotions in one. One minute, you feel down and the next minute, a song comes up on your playlist that makes you forget everything you may have been feeling before, get up and dance.

In the last two decades, the Nigerian music scene has evolved exponentially giving rise to a number of stars, who have gone ahead to become some of the greatest voices in music from Africa to the world. More recently, another evolution has begun to occur and, although it’s still relatively fresh, some of these amazing new musicians are already blazing their own trails.

Guardian Life caught up with four of these eclectic new voices—Lady Donli, Odunsi The Engine, Santi and Maka—to discuss the music scene, their art and their plans for the future.
