‘The Warrior’s Child Was Born Out Of The Difficult Times In My Life’ – Dai Verse

For Dai Verse, music was never just a hobby—it began in school hallways as casual freestyles to entertain friends, but quickly evolved into something more meaningful. By 2017, he was already dabbling in recording, and by 2019, his passion had taken a serious turn. His inspiration? Everyday life—people he encountered, conversations he overheard, and the universal theme that always finds its way into music: love.

Before he was known as Dai Verse, he was that guy on campus who did it all, sports, arts, and entertainment. In an interview on Cosoro Radio, he revealed that he used to help others make music, serve as backup singer, but after a heartbreak, he decided to turn his pain into music.

“Honestly? I was just helping others at first. I’d record hooks, be a backup singer—nothing serious. But then… I chopped serious breakfast. I figured, let me just turn all this pain into something. So I wrote, I recorded, and I became Dai Verse.”

Speaking on his new project ‘Warriors Child’, he explained that they were born out of different times in his life. Unlike projects where artists compile leftover tracks, this body of work was sculpted from lived experiences, each song a timestamp of a turbulent phase. From relationship breakdowns to legal battles with former management, everything found its way into the music.

“At every point in time, whatever mood or situation I’m in, I make a song out of it. That’s how I process things,” he shared. I picked up drinking and smoking just to ease my mind. But instead of letting it consume me, I turned that pain into art.”

Tracks like “Social Misconduct,” “Saved Me,” “What If,” “DND,” and “LLF” were written for healing. He further revealed that the EP’s name, ‘The Warrior’s Child, took him a minute to come up with, but when it did, it felt right.

“I struggled with the title for months. Then one day, out of nowhere, it just hit me. I wrote it down immediately — it felt right.”

Dai Verse is not your typical Afrobeat crooner. His music comes with layers , real stories, emotional scars, and a voice that cuts through the noise. The Warrior’s Child is a declaration, that pain doesn’t have to break you; it can make you.

Whether it’s the streets that shaped him, the heartbreak that moved him, or the legal fights that tested him, Dai Verse has emerged as one of Afrobeats’ most emotionally intelligent storytellers.

And he’s just getting started.
