With his latest single “My Wife,” Director Dzi offers more than just a song—he delivers a deeply personal tribute that blends cultural storytelling with modern Afrobeats and RnB finesse. Released on May 28, 2025, and recorded at Vixmix Studios in East London, this track captures the emotional weight of real-life love and reunion, drawn directly from a true family event: his own sister’s wedding.
What sets “My Wife” apart isn’t just the glossy production or smooth vocal delivery—it’s the genuine story behind it. Dzi tells the tale of a couple who were once prom dates, parted ways for years while pursuing different paths (him to Atlanta, her to Oxford), only to reconnect and fall in love all over again. It’s a love story grounded in real experience, enhanced by the powerful cultural symbolism of Lobola—a traditional bride price—giving the song a deeper layer of identity and meaning.
Director Dzi’s sonic identity lives at the intersection of Afrobeats, RnB, and heartfelt lyricism. Drawing inspiration from artists like Burna Boy, Tems, Probeatz, and Hilzy, “My Wife” doesn’t mimic—it pays homage. The beat, produced by G-Legend alongside Mo Samuels (of Grammy-nominated duo Sons of Sonix), pulses with warmth and romantic rhythm. But what really grabs the listener is how sincere the message feels. The line “It don’t matter the time or the season” stands out as a gentle reminder that true love doesn’t expire—it only waits.
Vocally, Dzi leans into tenderness. There’s no theatrical overproduction—his voice rides the beat naturally, never overpowering the story. You can feel the conversations behind the lyrics, because they really happened. Before recording, Dzi and his collaborators sat down and spoke about weddings, love, and the meaning of commitment. That energy comes through—it’s intimate, almost like you’re hearing a letter read aloud at the ceremony itself.
As if the music wasn’t personal enough, the accompanying video takes it even further. There’s no acting, no reenactments. The footage is taken directly from his sister’s actual wedding, making the music video an authentic extension of the track itself. In a world where so many love songs feel manufactured or surface-level, this approach feels refreshing and genuine. It’s not a performance—it’s a celebration.
Director Dzi, based in London, is no stranger to performance—he’s taken stages like the UK Streetdance Championships, and now sets his sights on a headline show of his own. “My Wife” not only adds to his growing discography but also signals a shift toward deeper, more intentional artistry. It shows he’s not afraid to be vulnerable, nor to honor his roots in both sound and story.
This is music made with care, where production, culture, and lived experience meet. And in an era saturated with disposable singles, that’s something worth paying attention to.
Director Dzi’s “My Wife” is a heartfelt, well-crafted fusion of Afrobeats and RnB, elevated by its real-world backstory and cultural grounding. It’s a song for weddings, reunions, and quiet reflections alike—and a standout release that introduces Dzi as an artist with both vision and emotional depth.
