Nigerian singer and songwriter Alexander Adelabu, known as Magixx, has expressed that his lifelong aspiration has always been to pursue a career in music.
In a recent interview, the Mavin Records artist, Magixx shared that music has consistently been a significant presence in his life.
He said, “Music has always been around. I’ve never really [known] any other thing that I wanted to do outside of making music. I’m so happy that things worked out the way they worked out. There’s nothing better than doing what you love.”
Regarding his influences and adaptability, the 25-year-old artist mentioned that his appreciation for a wide range of musical genres contributes to his versatility.
“I’ve always loved to make music, aside from just R&B. I’ve always loved to listen to different genres. I grew up listening to Michael Jackson, Fela Kuti, and Lagbaja. So it’s a wide range. And hip-hop music—Drake and Lil’ Wayne, down to Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy. All these people inspire my music. I can see this vast flexibility. They have this flexibility in their sound. Even Michael Jackson—[it’s] like they can make so many types of music. And that kind of inspired me to also spread my wings because I want to be able to tap into different levels of artistry, and different levels of making music.
“I’ve loved global music from the jump. I’ve always loved global music. So that’s why I try, as much as possible, to do what I want, to be on different types of beats, and different types of sounds. And it’s still all me. I just bring myself. I just bring myself to this sound. It’s still Magixx,” he said.
