Nigerian singer-songwriter XTRA returns with a powerful new single, ‘Father,’ a touching tribute that celebrates his late father’s legacy and the role of fathers worldwide.
With an emotionally charged performance, XTRA brings to life the profound love, sacrifices, and silent heroism that father figures embody.
Hailing from Nigeria, XTRA originally known as XTRAORDINARY, has been capturing audiences with his soulful voice and authentic storytelling. His musical journey began in 2007 when he recorded his debut track ‘How I Wish.’
Over the years, he has built a reputation as an incredible performer, gaining national recognition and accolades like the TopNaija Music Award for Best RnB Artist and SEMVA’s Best RnB Act.
Despite a challenging moment in his career when a potential deal with Starboy Music fell through, XTRA has remained resilient, drawing from his experiences to fuel his music. Now, with over 5,000 songs in his catalog, he’s more determined than ever to make his mark in the industry.
‘Father’ holds a particularly personal meaning for XTRA. Initially, his father was hesitant about his music career, but after hearing ‘Father,’ he felt a deep connection to the song and expressed his pride in XTRA’s journey. Before passing, he urged his son to release the track, making it a beautiful fulfillment of that promise.
The song’s soothing Afrobeats melody is paired with heartfelt lyrics, creating an unforgettable experience that resonates with listeners. Through ‘Father,’ XTRA not only honors his dad’s legacy but also pays tribute to all fathers who provide unwavering support and love.
This release is a reminder of the profound impact fathers have, often standing as unsung heroes in their families and communities.
