WOW!! Flavour Reveals He Used To Charge N5,000 Per Beat As A Producer
Nigerian Highlife artist, Chinedu Okoli, popularly known as Flavour, has shared insights into his career transition from a music producer to a singer.
In a recent episode of the ‘In My Opinion’ podcast, Flavour acknowledged the significant role rapper Mr Raw played in his journey.
Flavour revealed that his encounter with Mr Raw led him to learn music production professionally. Initially, he was charging N5,000 per beat as a producer. However, Mr Raw encouraged him to explore singing, a move that ultimately shaped Flavour’s successful music career.
Flavour’s transition from behind-the-scenes production to center-stage singing has been a remarkable one, earning him widespread recognition and acclaim. His hit song ‘N’abania’ remains a fan favorite, showcasing his talent and versatility as an artist.
“From learning studio productions, I became a producer. It was so easy because I was already an instrumentalist. From there, I started getting gigs as a producer. I used to charge N5,000 per beat,” he recalled.
“Some weekends, Mr Raw would ask me to be his backup singer at his shows. I left the bar where I was playing live music and started following Mr Raw. Everything changed when I saw people vibing to a chorus I did for one Mr Raw’s songs.
“I told myself that if I can do the chorus, it means I can put a song together. I should start creating my own. Mr Raw was the guy that opened my eyes to what being an artist is.”
Flavour is popularly known across Africa and the world for his hit song Nwa Baby (Ashawo Remix)’.
He released his self-titled debut album ‘N’abania’ in 2005.
