I have three things no other artiste has — Reekado Banks


Reekado Banks
He was declared the ‘Rookie of   the Year’ at the Headies 2014 in December, and months after, Mavin Records signee, Reekado Banks has proven that he is indeed a rookie who can deliver the cookies.  His latest song, “Katapot” is currently enjoying favourable airplay, and he has also featured in collaborations with other artistes.

Responding to a question on what he has that he thinks no other artiste has, he said, ‘“I don’t know what they have that I don’t have, but I know I have three things going for me: I work hard; I believe in God, and I listen to people’s advices, so that’s what keeps me going.’
On the inspiration behind his latest song, ‘Katapot,’ “It’s not like I was telling my personal story, I was just trying to create a love song for my fans. It wasn’t for me; it’s for the people.”
Gushing about his romance with the Don Jazzy-led Mavin, he said”To me, Mavin Records is the biggest record label in Africa. It’s been really amazing, and it’s like a family thing, and I really enjoy being part of them.”
As a boss, “Don Jazzy is an enigma…he’s ‘bad.’ He knows what he’s doing.”
One of the greatest thing he has learnt from the talented beat-maker, he said, ‘His humility…it’s just amazing.’

Speaking on his short-term plans. Banks said, “An album is not in the works for me now; it’ll be released probably early next year. For now, expect different singles and collabos from me. I’ve been working with a couple of people recently and I’m enjoying the experience.’
