Nigerian star Fave is November's EQUAL artist

Nigerian music sensation, Godsfavour Ugochinyere Chidozie, better known as Fave is November 2024’s EQUAL Africa Artist of the Month.

She first captured the public’s attention with her viral hit N.B.U. in 2020. Since then, she’s released multiple chart-topping singles and acclaimed projects, including her debut EP, Riddim 5, and her much-anticipated release, Dutty Love.

Her collaborations with some of Nigeria’s most renowned artistes like Olamide, Simi, Phyno, and Davido have solidified her reputation, and her feature on Davido’s Kante from the Timeless album was among Spotify’s Top 10 most-streamed songs in Nigeria for 2023.

In a statement, she said being a woman in the music industry can feel like an uphill climb "...but it’s made me more determined. The EQUAL programme is special because it centres on supporting women, ensuring our voices are given prominence. It’s empowering to be part of something that’s working towards balance in the industry."

On any advice for someone dreading following their dreams, she advised;

"Honestly, I’d say everyone should follow their dreams because life is too short. And if you don’t follow your dreams you’ll have a million regrets. You should also follow your DREAMS cos they’re yours for a reason and if you don’t you might end up not fulfilling your purpose in life. So just get up and do it. "
