Kizz Daniel Reveals He Lost 600 Songs After Workstation Collapse
Afrobeats star Kizz Daniel has stunned fans with the revelation that he lost a staggering 600 unreleased songs due to a technical failure in his music workstation. The award-winning artist shared the news in a post on his X (formerly Twitter) account, highlighting the emotional and professional weight of the loss.
According to the singer, the malfunction wiped out an enormous catalogue of unreleased work—enough material to make 60 full-length albums. “Lost 600 songs. My work station collapsed,” Kizz Daniel posted.
Despite the setback, the resilient hitmaker assured fans that he is working on retrieving the lost tracks. In a follow-up post, he explained that while recovery efforts are underway, he’s choosing to keep the music coming. “Still trying to retrieve some files, but I had to give my fans something to vibe to,” he wrote.
This statement underscores Kizz Daniel’s commitment to his audience, a trait that has defined his artistry since he burst onto the Nigerian music scene in 2014 with the breakout hit Woju.
The announcement comes shortly after the release of his new project Unkle K (Lemon Chase)—a 7-track body of work that has already begun resonating with listeners. The EP features collaborations with industry standouts Bella Shmurda, Runtown, Fola, and OdumoduBlvck, and showcases Kizz Daniel’s signature blend of melody, simplicity, and heartfelt storytelling.
In another recent social media post, the Buga crooner emphasized that relatability is the most important element in his music creation process. Regardless of genre or who is behind the beat, Kizz Daniel says what matters most is that listeners connect with the message.
This musical philosophy is clearly evident in his career-defining hits like Buga (Lo Lo Lo)—which became a cultural anthem in 2022—and Twe Twe, which claimed the top spot on the TurnTable End of Year Chart in 2024.
Kizz Daniel’s consistency and unique ability to craft songs that cut across demographics have earned him a reputation as one of Nigeria’s most reliable hitmakers. His music is known for fusing easy-to-digest lyrics with infectious melodies and culturally relevant themes—making his work accessible to fans of all ages.
The loss of 600 songs may be a major setback for any artist, but if Kizz Daniel’s career has shown anything, it’s that he knows how to bounce back—and even turn challenges into chart-topping moments. As fans stream Unkle K (Lemon Chase) and await more music, the silver lining remains: Kizz Daniel’s creativity isn’t stored in a hard drive—it’s part of who he is. And as long as that remains intact, the hits will keep coming.
