When American star Beyoncé was producing music for the “Lion King” soundtrack in 2019, her team called on some of Africa’s young pop stars, mainly Afrobeat artistes from Nigeria, to collaborate on the music.
Among the exceptions was a Cameroonian singer, songwriter and producer, Salatiel who was featured on the song “Water” with Beyoncé and Pharrell Williams. The exposure he has received since then has catapulted him into one of the biggest Afropop stars.
