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

A: The biggest misconception about what I do is that producing Afrobeat or gospel-inspired music is just about creating catchy rhythms or melodies.

Every track is carefully designed to connect with listeners on multiple levels, not just to sound good.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: When I connect with a new client, I ask questions that help me understand both the sound they want and the feeling they want the listener to experience. Some of the key questions I ask are: • What’s the message or story you want your music to tell? • Which artists or songs inspire the vibe you’re going for? • Do you want the track to lean more toward Afrobeat, gospel, or a fusion of both? • What role do you see live percussion or unique instrumentation playing in your song? • How do you want people to feel when they hear this track? These questions guide me in shaping a production that not only meets their vision but also carries that universal rhythm and spiritual energy I’m known for.

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

Look for a collaborator who can bring both technical skill and soul—someone who can craft authentic rhythms, uplifting melodies, and arrangements that resonate with listeners. Be clear about your vision, communicate openly, and trust the process. When you work with the right producer, your song becomes more than a track—it becomes an experience that moves people physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

A: I would love to work with artists like Burna Boy or Wizkid, because they’ve taken Afrobeat to a global stage while staying true to its roots.
