Multi-talented Afrobeats singer, Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe aka Kizz Daniel, is arguably having an impressive time of his life as the world football governing body announces him as one of the headliners at the FIFA Fan Festival event in Doha, Qatar.
This follows the singer’s successes of his global tour and the release of his recent hit track, ‘COUGH’,
The World Cup organizers, FIFA, made the confirmation on Friday, 11 November, 2022, as they listed the six official performing artistes for the event.
The performance, which is an extension of FIFA Sound, is an entertainment strategy designed to bring more connections between the beautiful game of football and music.
In FIFA’s list of headliners for the Fan Festival during the World Cup, Kizz Daniel is the only African artiste performing alongside five international award-winning singers.
For the lineup, American DJ and Music Producer, Diplo, will perform on 22 November while Kizz Daniel’s performance is slated for 23 November.
Canadian crooner, Nora Fatehi, will perform on 29 November; American singer, Trinidad Cardona, on 1 December and Scotland’s Calvin Harris on 10 December.
FIFA shared the lineup on its official Instagram page on Friday.
This is a dream come true for the singer as he once tweeted in June about his wish to perform at the World Cup.
Kizz Daniel has earned his mark in the industry as a viral hit maker.
His single, “Buga”, which he features Tecno, garnered recognition from around the world as world leaders and celebrities joined in the viral Buga Challenge.
In October, Kizz Daniel released yet another hit track “Odo” (Cough) which is currently a sensation on the Internet.
