Electronic music is a globally spoken language, reaching each corner of the earth with its pulsing beats, melodic drops, and liberating spirit.

His undying love for house music strengthens his inspiration and unique style.

Zidiq’s most recent release, “African Mama,” has blown listeners away and is garnering significant airplay across Nigerian’s top radio stations. “African Mama” celebrates and appreciates the beauty of African women. The video is produced and mixed by Irish producers Brian Sheil and Alex Flood and is complemented by the glow of the sunset on the beach, vibrant colors all around, and energetic dancing.
