Talent manager Louiza Williams has revealed how fear and self-doubt almost stopped her from managing Afrobeats star Kizz Daniel at the early stage of his career.

Williams, who previously worked with singer Waconzy, described accepting the role under G-Worldwide Entertainment as one of the biggest decisions of her life.

According to her, the pressure surrounding the artist’s potential success made her initially hesitant.“At the time, too many people were recommending me to the label. Industry voices, media personalities, executives. My name was moving in rooms I wasn’t even present in,” she said.

The talent manager admitted she constantly worried about the possibility of failure.

“I kept asking myself, ‘What if he doesn’t blow? What will people say about me?’” she recalled.

Williams said her fears were reduced after a meeting with G-Worldwide boss Emperor Geezy, who assured her of his commitment to the artist’s success.

“He told me, ‘You will not regret this. I will do everything possible to make sure he succeeds,’” she said.

She also disclosed that consultations with industry figures, including a Lagos-based disc jockey and entertainment executives abroad, convinced her that Kizz Daniel’s breakout song ‘Woju’ had strong potential.

According to Williams, prayer eventually played a major role in her final decision to accept the management role.

“That ‘yes’ didn’t just change a project. It changed my direction, my vision and my life,” she added.
