The Truth Hurts: DanHausawa a Kaduna music pioneer highlights his achievements, success story, and calls out fake Kaduna artists and industry fraud
In a recent social media post, Northern artist DanHausawa, based in Kaduna, Nigeria, has sparked controversy by claiming to be musically ahead of his peers and the young talents in the city.
With a career in entertainment and music for over two decades, he has made significant contributions to the Kaduna music industry, introducing many artists to the scene and hosting numerous concerts and events.
DanHausawa’s post highlighted his impressive achievements, including:
– Starting music in 2001
– Hosting radio shows for 8 years
– Producing two TV shows with over 200 episodes
– Hosting over 40 concerts
– Being the first artist to stage a concert at Ahmadu Bello Stadium
– Paying 20 Kaduna artists 50k for a show
– Releasing two albums and two EPs
– Recording over 1000 songs in 7 languages
– Founding and funding beauty pageants and open mic contests.
For the records and what Bestxplorer has gathered none has ever done or achieved this milestone.
He also shared his cultural and religious identity, proudly stating that he is Idoma and Ibibio from Benue state, and a practicing Christian, grateful for God’s salvation.
Interestingly, he mentioned that although he has Igbo roots, he has a strong Hausa spirit, which might explain his stage name, DanHausawa.
DanHausawa emphasized his commitment to promoting Kaduna artists and his frustration with the lack of respect and understanding of the music business.
He called out fake and fraudulent individuals in the industry and encouraged artists to focus on growing their craft rather than gossiping and chasing clouts.
The post has sparked mixed reactions, with some hailing DanHausawa as a true pioneer in the game and others criticizing his tone and perceived arrogance.
However, his achievements and contributions to the music industry cannot be denied, truly.
As the debate continues, one thing is clear: DanHausawa has set the record straight, and his legacy in Kaduna’s music scene is undeniable.
