A distinct element of Jhay2unez’s production is the upbeat melodies that underlie every chord and synth. Born Gabriel Erogbogbo, Jhay2unez hails from a musical background, rich with history in Ikorodu. Falling in love with music was innate. However, the hardworking producer keeps on honing his skills daily and his extensive catalogue is proof of his work rate.
Music production isn’t the only venture, Jhay2unez expresses himself in. He is also a seasoned vocalist and songwriter. If you pay attention to his bio on X (fka Twitter), you’ll realize he portrays himself as an actor, amongst many other talents. Truly, Jhay2unez is a man who breathes and lives art.
His work with a myriad of artists has resulted in success and a handful of chart-topping, projects even. Jhay2unez isn’t one to be classist in his selection criteria for collaborations. From emerging street-hop artists to buzzing Afrobeats stars—Jhay2unez works with all.
A quick preview of the producer extraordinaire’s masterclass is evident in Lil Kesh’s “Lifestyle,” Seyi Vibez’s “Suddenly” and most recently, “Casablanca” by Shoday and Ayo Maff. But if you ask Jhay2unez what his most significant contribution to Afrobeats in 2024, you are likely to hear Young Jonn’s debut album. On “Jiggy Forever,” Jhay2unez locked in, creating one-third of the high-selling album’s instrumentals. Highlights being “Sharpally” and “Jeje.” A chest-thumping feat indeed!
The rest, they say, is history, but Jhay2unez isn’t quite done yet. His in-depth knowledge of instrumentation and great rapport with his industry peers and playmakers, position him for even greater heights. A task the experienced music maker and his brilliant team led by his manager, Jerry “Mr. Jayz” Michael are ready to face head-on. With Jhay2unez the priority is quite clear, that of spreading happiness one beat at a time.
