King Charles III has selected Afrobeat star, David Adeleke better known as Davido to feature on his exclusive playlist ‘King’s Music Room’.
The playlist, which was curated by the king and recorded at Buckingham Palace, will feature favorite tracks from artistes across the commonwealth, including Bob Marley, Kylie Minogue, and Grace Jones.
The king created the playlist to share the music that brings him joy, highlighting the impact of music on his life. He also shared anecdotes about his encounters with some of the artistes featured.
He said, “Throughout my life, music has meant a great deal to me. I know that is also the case for so many others.
“It has that remarkable ability to bring happy memories flooding back from the deepest recesses of our memory, to comfort us in times of sadness, and to take us to distant places.
“But perhaps, above all, it can lift our spirits to such a degree, and all the more so when it brings us together in celebration. In other words, it brings us joy.”
The playlist will be available exclusively on Apple Music 1 in celebration of Commonwealth Day 2025.
