Because I was coming from Akwa Ibom it was difficult to meet record executives, producers and artists who would give me a chance to work with them on their projects, but I persevered. The most difficult part of moving to Lagos was networking, getting to meet new people to work with. We released Let Me Know and Respect My Hustle with Banky W and Ice Prince at Mogul Music.
Late in 2011, I got signed to a record label called Mogul Music. “I knew the challenges would come and it would be a hard journey, but I kept pushing. Early in 2011, he would move to Lagos to earn a living off making music, and though the early days in Lagos were tough he tells me passively, “I came to this city with a positive mindset.” He puts the timeframe of the start of his music career towards the end of 2004 and early 2005. It was, here, at UNN that he produced Superwoman for Waje in 2005 but the song did not see the light of day because of issues with her management. After the completion of his secondary school education, he moved to the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) to study Architecture and graduated in 2008. I met with music producer, Major Bangz (real name: Michael Archibong), at his studio in Lekki, where he is putting finishing touches to his new EP titled Inner Peace.Īrchibong, born in Akwa Ibom and the father of two children, was born in 1988 and has been making music since 2002 when he finished secondary school in Makurdi. He is regarded in the music industry as the king of hard-hitting kicks and drums having produced Lil Kesh’s fan-favorite Shoki. It is impossible to narrate the story of Phyno and Lil Kesh without referencing him and his production credits on songs like Yayo, Shoki, Parcel and Alobam among other great songs that have established Phyno as one of the biggest artistes in Nigeria over the last few years.
