Kinky Dada on SoundBetter

I am an award-winning multi-genre music producer, specializing in Afrobeats, Dancehall, Tropical and Dance / Pop music. I create beats / instrumentals for artists, singers, channels, TV shows and more. I do custom beats upon request as well, either from scratch or designed around a pre-made acapella. I am also doing remote Mixing and Mastering.

Kinky Dada a.k.a. MONAD has been professionally learning to play guitar and piano from the age of 9. Composing melodies that can make the heart dance is just one of his recognizable trademarks. Being a part of more than 10 different top bands and projects as guitar player, percussionist, vocalist and DJ he was able to work and learn music from the best.

Awards for attractiveness, originality and innovation of the compositions accompany his musical career from the beginning. His work is highly appreciated by both the performers and producers. Back in 2003 his debut single as artist took a place into Australian National Radio Station roster list as one of the most wanted tracks on air for almost 2 months. In 2009 other song of him hits the leader board of Tim Kring’s (Heroes) “Conspiracy for Good” project declared by the listeners as masterpiece. Same year his project JaGWaR literally conquered the international reggae chart on Reverbnation as reached Top 100 in less than 24 hours and so on.

Since 2012 he is graduated audio engineer.. Writing music for movies, games and TV commercials. Because all his work is based on passion and creativity the results are more than you can expect – they are made to conquer!

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I am a producer and beat maker, which means I "make beats" and compose all the music, except for the lyrics. Most clients reach out with a rough idea of the kind of song they want, often providing reference tracks from existing artists that show the kind of vibe they are looking for. Some clients come with existing melodies or lyrics they wrote either acappella or to another beat. I help these clients by "re-producing" the track, i.e. building a brand new beat around their lyrics.
