I Recorded Peru When I Was Tipsy – Nigerian Artist Fireboy

 

Nigerian Afrobeat crooner, Adedamola Adefolahan, known professionally as Fireboy DML has disclosed that he was tipsy when he recorded his popular track Peru.

During an interview with Deezer, Fireboy spoke about what went into his song and the process of making songs. Fireboy disclosed that he wrote and recorded his song “Peru” in San Francisco, California.

Speaking about the process of making his song Peru, Fireboy said that he was tipsy while in the studio and decided to try something in the booth and came out with the song “Peru”.

“It was my first time in the United States and I was supposed to go and see my associates at the empire and just vibe; pay a courtesy visit to Shizzi who produced the song in his studio. At the studio that night, I was tipsy and I just got in the booth.

He played the beat. I was like, ‘Um, that’s a vibe.’ And in 30 minutes to 35 minutes, I was literally just singing my story. It’s just a young boy that found himself in a new place and is willing to just try out new stuff.”

Fireboy told the host how his new partner American artist Ed Sheeran was excited about making the remix of the song “Peru”.

“Ed Sheeran heard the song and loved it. He was so excited about the whole process; the whole vibe of making the song. He asked for the lyrics, what every word meant, and all of that. In 30 minutes, he was done with his won verse too”.
