Prettyboy D-O has been on our radar for a minute now, the Nigerian-Born, Los Angeles-based musician has impressed us over the last couple of years with dancefloor-ready tracks like ‘CHOP ELBOW’ and smooth mood-setters like ‘Pull Up ft. Santi’, showcasing his own unique spin on Nigeria’s undeniably rich musical style and representing a new group of Nigerian musicians who are revamping the nation’s musical DNA. This new movement has been dubbed ‘Alté’, meaning ‘alternative’ and is comprised of a diverse array of styles, drawing on the sounds of modern afrobeats, dancehall, indie, hip-hop, r&b and more.
We caught up with Prettyboy D-O, fresh off the release of his newest EP Wildfire, to get his picks from the Alté music scene.
