Jidenna has been doing a Q&A on Twitter and one of the questions that popped up were about his African roots, Nigeria in particular.
Big, Hungry Heart @MedusasFury asked Jidenna:@Jidenna How have your Nigerian roots influenced your music? #AskAClassicMan
Jidenna Replied:
A good amount of my melodies and rhythms come from Highlife music. Also my strive for excellence is Nigerian-bred.
Rock on Jidenna!
