Afrobeats is having its moment right now. From Libianca's crossover success with People to Ayra Starr's ascent, it's a genre that's increasingly impacting (and influencing) the mainstream.
One man at the forefront of the movement is Pheelz. The 28-year-old Nigerian singer, songwriter and producer scored one of 2022's biggest Official Afrobeats Number 1 singles with Bnxn collaboration Finesse, clocking an incredible 10 weeks at the top.
Now, as he releases the music video for his brand-new single Pheelz Like Summer, we catch up to talk his Pheelz Good EP, upcoming album and the deeper meaning behind his latest visual.
This EP means so much to me and I’m so proud of it. I’m so happy that the world finally gets to hear it. I’ve been sitting on this project for over four years, and now I can finally move on to the album!
To me, Pheelz Good means emotions and feelings. It’s just me putting my different personas, emotions, and feelings into a body of work and showing the world how all that feels good to me. I hope it feels good to the world as well.
Honestly, no. I didn’t expect that reaction. I just knew that I'd made a hit record. At least, I felt like I did. I knew a few people would mess with it but I had no idea that it would become the monster hit that would put me on the level that I’m on right now.
I’m grateful for all the wins that have come with the record, but I didn’t expect it.
Yeah, I’ve been collaborating with a couple of people. I have some exciting collaborative records in the pipeline. You might hear some this year! Time will tell how they roll out...

Emily Longeretta Ever since she was little, Ego Nwodim has loved performing. In fact, that was why she was a ballerina for 10 years. Eventually, she stumbled, begrudgingly, into an improv comedy class and fell in love with it. Never in her wildest dreams did she think she’d be making millions laugh on a stage as big as “Saturday Night Live.” Nwodim, who joined the show in 2018, is set to host Variety’s Power of Women event in New York on April 4. When did your love for comedy begin? It started long before I could name what it was.

I think truly being able to name that it was comedy, I feel like such a late bloomer in that regard. I didn’t really even know that was a career option until 15 years ago.
