BAAD!

Music Producer & Mix Engineer

BAAD! on SoundBetter

Afrobeats Producer/mix engineer behind 6M+ cumulative Spotify and YT streams. I produce across Afrobeats, dancehall, R&B, Amapiano, Afro-fusion, and indie pop. 5+ years producing for indie labels and artists, from beat production to song arrangement to mixing. Send me your reference track.

I create more of Afrobeats, Indie Pop, Afro-fusion and R&B records. I have collaborated on records with grammy-nominated industry professionals that have made songs generating over hundreds of millions of streams.

I handle everything from beat production and arrangement to full mix down and if needed, I collaborate with other music professionals to make the best music possible. I've worked across the full pipeline: music composition, writing sessions, top-line development, vocal production, and delivering release-ready masters on deadline for tight release schedules. Every project includes ample communication and a commitment to making your song an industry standard sound and a commercial hit.

Send me your reference tracks and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit before we start.

To celebrate launching my SoundBetter profile, I am offering an introductory rate for my first 3 clients. Let’s make a banger. Send me a message with your demo or reference track!

Interview with BAAD!

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

  2. A: One of the projects I worked on that I am proud of is the "Dabanne" record by "Namenj". I crafted the composition of the record from the start, together with Namenj in the studio, then collaborated remotely with a grammy nominated producer (one I looked up to starting out) to finish the record. As a result of my creativity and professionalism on that record, we have maintained connection till date and occasionally work on new records together.

  3. Q: What are you working on at the moment?

  4. A: I am working on two projects at the moment. First of, I am working on my Debut Album release as a Producer and DJ, and also working together with an indie label with the development of their frontline artiste "Ceezay Yung" I make beats for him to write to, we brainstorm on ideas, and I engineer records for him in-house.
