| D'Tunes, Shizzy and Del'B |
See the profiles of three of the hottest producers in Nigeria giving us those sick music beats after the cut.
SHIZZY
Oluwaseyi ‘Shizzy’ Akerele, a
graduate of Information Technology from the University of South Africa is one
of the new beat makers who, in a short time, has shown that he is in the
business to leave a mark.
The HKN Gang producer has worked
mostly with Davido and other HKN acts- Shina Rambo, B-Red, Danagog and DeeKay
but has still managed to prove his versatility and daring. He has also worked
with Wizkid, Wande Coal and Bigiano.
Shizzi is the producer of Dami Duro,
Gobe, One of a Kind, Skelewu etc.
D’TUNES
Adesanya ‘DTunes’ Doyinsola a
graduate form Olabisi Onabanjo University began from the church by learning how
to play the drums and keyboard and has since produced for popular acts like
9ice, Faze, Ruggedman, Dipp, Silver Saddih, Lord of Ajasa, Iceberg Slim, Rico
White, Shank, Hakym D Dream, Rasheed etc.
D’tunes became a household name
after the success of the monster hit single, Kukere which saw the sharp rise of
former MTN Project fame winner, Iyanya, from upcoming singer to established
star. D’Tunes later cemented his place in the hearts of music lovers as a hit
maker with more work on other Iyanya hits such as Your Waist, Flavour and Sexy
Mama. He also produced Sean Tizzle’s Sho lee. He currently runs his own label,
Difference Entertainment.
D’tunes is certainly a producer who
has his eyes on the future and may just become the next Don Jazzy ahead of his
peers.
DEL’B
Born Ayodele Joseph Basil between
2009 and 2011 earned production credits from lacing cuts on Omotola's entire
sophomore album, most of Harrisong's "Testify album", Ade Bantu’s No
Man Stands Alone; Darey’s Rhythm and Beat album; Orezi’s singles, I No Fit Lie
and “High BP; Kcee’s Now I Know, Carnival, Limpopo and Okoso; Seyi Shay’s
Loving Your Way and; General Pype’s Give it to Me etc.
The one time audio engineer at
MidiCorp Studios and sound engineer at Paul Play Dairo’s Playground
Entertainment is known for his versatility, producing for different genres;
jazz, rock, hip-hop/R&B, Pop, highlife, fuji, juju etc. He has since worked
with some of Nigeria's finest artistes, both on stage and in the studio. Names
as 2face, Sunny Neji, D'Banj, Fresh (formally Dr Fresh), Kenny St Brown, Felix
Duke, and Kween are just few of them. And also, he's worked with corporate
agencies on jingles and various musical projects.
His fingerprints in the music scene
can be traced onto blown works as D'Banj's "Why Me", Mo' Hits'
"All Stars album" C V, Kween's "Jebele", Paul Play's
"Hitsville" album and a handful of others.
