Fireboy DML: ‘Peru’ was recorded while I was drunk [VIDEO]

‘Peru’ singer Adedamola Adefolahan, professionally known as Fireboy DML has stated that he recorded the hit song while slightly drunk.

Fireboy made this statement in an interview with Deezer. “Peru was written and recorded in San Francisco, California”, he said.

“It was my first time in the United States and I was supposed to go and see my associates at the empire and just vibe; pay a courtesy visit to Shizzi who produced the song in his studio.

“At the studio that night, I was tipsy and I just got in the booth. He played the beat. I was like, ‘Um, that’s a vibe.’ And in 30 minutes to 35 minutes, I was literally just singing my story.

“It’s just a young boy that found himself in a new place and is willing to just try out new stuff.”

Fireboy also spoke how excited Ed Sheeran was while making the remix of the song. He said, “Ed Sheeran heard the song and loved it. He was so excited about the whole process; the whole vibe of making the song.

“He asked for the lyrics, what every word meant and all of that. In 30 minutes, he was done with his own verse too.”
