Nigerian singer, Oluwatobi Wande Ojosipe, popularly known as Wande Coal, has claimed he pioneered the new sound of Nigerian music.

He also claimed to have inspired the new crop of Afrobeats artistes who are currently rising worldwide.

During a recent interview with Cool FM Lagos, the singer stated that despite his accomplishments, he still wants to do more.

“I’m the best at what I do. I’m a legend. I know what I came to this industry to do. I brought the new generation of sound and the new wave of new artistes that’s happening now,” he boasted.

He added: “I’m happy to be that guy that has done it. Also, I still want to do more. I feel like music never ends. Music is very universal. That’s why there are many genres of music.

“All these sounds I try to fuse them in my music. That’s why none of my songs sound alike. Since I came into the industry, I have shown versatility in my songs. I also love working with new producers because music never ends.”

Wande Coal got his first break in the Nigerian entertainment industry as a dancer. He got signed to Don Jazzy’s Mo’ Hits Records in 2006 and was featured on D’banj’s ‘Rundown/Funk you up’ album on singles such as ‘Loke’, ‘Tonosibe’ and ‘Why Me?’

Coal gained prominence with his first single on 'Mo’ Hits’ compilation album, ‘CV (Curriculum Vitae)’, ‘Ololufe.’
