Music Producer Hiphop Afrobeat

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

A: I produced and mixed a track for a Nigerian artist that hit over 500k streams. We started with a rough melody idea, and I helped shape the full production, arranged vocals, and delivered the final mix. It stood out because it blended traditional Afrobeats with futuristic sound design — and the feedback has been amazing.

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: Currently producing an EP for a UK-based Afro-fusion artist, mixing a Drill track for a client in Lagos, and creating a few custom Amapiano beats for sync licensing.

Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?

A: Yes — depending on the project, I can recommend trusted vocalists, engineers, or session players I’ve worked with for quality results.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: Digital — because of the flexibility and speed it offers. With today’s tools and techniques, you can still achieve analog warmth with digital precision.

Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

A: I’ll give your music the same attention and detail I’d give my own. You’ll always get honest communication, creative input, and a track that’s polished and industry-ready.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: Turning ideas into real, finished songs that people connect with. There’s nothing like seeing an artist light up when they hear their vision come to life.

Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A: "Can you make a beat that sounds like [artist]?" Yes, I can create something inspired by that sound, but I’ll always add a unique touch to make it yours.

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: That producers just “make beats.” A good producer helps shape the entire song — structure, emotion, dynamics, and performance. It’s more than just laying drums.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: I ask about their vision for the song, reference tracks, key themes, target audience, and how involved they want to be in the process. The more context I have, the better the result.

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A: Look for someone who listens before they create. Great production starts with understanding your sound and goals. Also, check their previous work to see if their style aligns with yours.

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

A: Laptop, DAW MIDI keyboard (Akai MPK Mini) Apollo Twin interface Rode NT1 mic Headphones (Beyerdynamic DT 770)

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

A: I’ve been producing for over 8 years. I started making beats for friends, then moved into working with local artists, and eventually expanded internationally. Over time, I’ve refined my sound and process into a professional, client-focused service.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: Clean, soulful, and rhythmic. I like to mix lush melodies and atmospheric textures with tight drums and grooves that make people move. My sound is polished but never sterile — it carries emotion and bounce.

Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

A: Burna Boy. He’s versatile, open-minded, and always pushes boundaries with his sound. I think our styles would mesh well, blending depth with energy.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Don’t overcrowd your beat. Give your sounds room to breathe — especially if vocals are going on it. Simplicity with intention is more powerful than complexity without direction.

Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

A: I primarily work on Afrobeats, Amapiano, Hip-Hop, R&B, and UK Drill. Many of my productions live at the intersection of these genres, mixing Afro rhythms with trap drums or soulful chords with log drums and percussive bounce.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: Blending African and Western music influences in a way that feels natural and modern. I have a strong ear for melody and rhythm, and I’m great at building songs that feel current while still being rooted in culture.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I bring energy, emotion, and clarity. Whether it’s a soulful R&B joint or a bouncy Amapiano cut, I make sure the track has impact and depth. I focus on arrangement, dynamics, and space — so each element has its moment and the vocals shine.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: It starts with understanding the artist’s vision — the vibe, references, and emotion they’re aiming for. I usually begin with a melody or chord progression, then layer drums and percussion to create a groove. Once the beat is done, I assist with vocal arrangement, and finally, mix and polish the track for release.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: My studio is built for both creativity and precision. I use FL Studio and Ableton Live, paired with industry-standard plugins like FabFilter, Waves, and Kontakt libraries. I run everything through an Apollo Twin interface, KRK monitors, and a treated space for accurate mixing. For vocals, I use a Rode NT1 and Focusrite preamps for clean, detailed recordings.

Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

A: Producers like Sarz, JAE5, Juls, and P2J inspire me — they’re masters at blending Afro rhythms with modern textures. I also admire Timbaland and Metro Boomin for their innovation and consistency. Their ability to evolve sound while staying true to their roots is something I strive for in my work.

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

A: I specialize in producing custom beats and full tracks in Afrobeats, Amapiano, R&B, Hip-Hop, and Drill. Most of my clients come to me for complete production — from scratch-made beats to vocal arrangement and mixing. I also do beat remakes and help artists shape their sound to be competitive and authentic.
