Nahash Mwathi on SoundBetter

Quality and experienced Production, Mixing, Mastering, Vocal Editing & Production! 100,000 Streams across various platforms!

Rising from low self-esteem, I have found an outlet for my negative emotions- music and creativity. I have released The Love Flowchart, a direct outflow of my experiences, and started a beautiful journey using music that speaks to the soul, using fused acapella and African sounds mashed up with piano and stringed classical instruments which I have grown fond of.

My Mission is to “Use every breath of life, to speak, show, sing about and be proof of an existing path of growth and hope, and point to One who can and will make all things new."

Nahash set me out to sing my own songs; I never had the confidence to share them. He is a good listener and understands the songs I write as if they are a part of him. His production in my song Wanituliza expressed more than I envisioned it to be. He takes his time in his arrangements. His songs Dhahabu and Tumaini are masterpieces! Great Talent and a blessing indeed

I have worked with Nahash on two major projects, "Staircase" and "Home & Away", which are available in all streaming platforms.

I enjoyed every little step in the production of this project, and the success of the project was highly pegged on the attention to detail that Nahash exhibits. His Mastery and willingness to explore musical intricacies just to realise the perfect sound, is unmatched.

I definitely and highly recommend Nahash, one of the few amazing young and budding engineers.

A: Totally love the kind of musical ear that Jonathan McReynolds and Kirk Franklin have.
