Morravey: Rising Star in Nigerian Music

Daniella Ibinabo Daniel, known professionally as Morravey, is a Nigerian singer and songwriter who quickly rose to fame in 2023 after a memorable collaboration with Davido on his hit track, “In the Garden.” Born on March 13, 2004, in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Morravey found her passion for music early in life, performing at local events, school functions, and even briefly singing in choirs. Today, she stands as one of the most promising voices in Afrobeats, with her unique blend of vocal talent and lyrical style.

Early Life and Love for Music

From a young age, Morravey displayed a natural talent for singing and performing. Growing up as the eldest of five siblings, she often entertained her family by mimicking popular songs she adored. This practice helped her gain confidence, eventually leading her to start writing her own songs. Although she briefly joined a choir, Morravey realized her musical path lay beyond traditional choir performances, propelling her to find her voice as a solo artist.

The Viral Moment: How Morravey Was Discovered

Morravey’s career began in earnest in 2020 when she started posting song covers on social media. However, her big break came unexpectedly in 2023. A friend secretly recorded her practicing a cover song and posted it online, where it quickly went viral. Her raw talent caught the attention of Davido, who offered her a recording contract with DMW (Davido Music Worldwide). This pivotal moment led to her feature on Davido’s album Timeless on the track “In the Garden,” which debuted at number 83 on the TurnTable Top 100 chart.

2023: The Release of RAVI and Morravey’s Breakthrough

Following her collaboration with Davido, Morravey released her debut EP, RAVI, on November 2, 2023, under Sony Music Africa. The EP includes collaborations with Davido and has been praised by critics for its bold musical direction and refreshing Afrobeat vibes. According to Adeayo Adebiyi of Pulse Nigeria, RAVI is “a bold statement of intent where the music speaks for itself,” receiving a solid 7/10 rating.

RAVI quickly climbed the charts, reaching impressive positions such as No. 4 on Apple Music Nigeria, No. 6 in Cameroon, and No. 33 on the TurnTable Top 50 chart. This success solidified Morravey’s place in the Nigerian music scene and beyond.

Morravey’s Continued Rise in 2024

Building on the success of her debut, Morravey released the music video for her hit track “Condo” in May 2024.

Shortly after, Morravey released the single “Ifineme” on September 27, capturing fans’ hearts with her soulful melodies and unique storytelling.

On September 30, she earned a coveted spot in Billboard’s Afrobeats Fresh Picks, placing her alongside renowned artists like Oxlade, Fireboy DML, and Mofe. This recognition marked Morravey as one of Afrobeats’ emerging talents, gaining a global audience and industry respect.
