Spotlight Monday: Damie

It’s 2022, a brand new year but a number of highlights from the preceding 365 days have crept in with the turn of the year. One of such is the track “Baby Riddim”, the Afrobeats mid-tempo delight that was on the lips of every Nigerian not living under a rock. The singer and songwriter responsible for the smash hit, Fave, was drowned in fully deserved recognition for her role in the song’s creation. However, the success of that track is a landmark moment for more individuals than the lead artiste herself. For all the doors “Baby Riddim” has and is about to open for Fave, her partner-in-crime and producer, Damie, is about to also get the industry to sit up and take notice.

Known to those family and close friends as Damilola Adeyemi, Damie’s story of progression up the ladder of the music industry is one of hard work and dedication to his craft. He started early too, having picked up music production during his secondary school days in 2015. He added mixing and mastering to his repertoire about 4 years later, therefore arming himself with the complete set of skills needed to make an impact on the soundscape of the industry.

The success of “Baby Riddim” is no doubt a big moment for for young Damie, but he is definitely no stranger to chilling with the big boys. He has production credits on the musical endeavours of the likes of Buju, Show Dem Camp, and Fasina. His clientele dabble in a wide variety of genres, so it follows logical reasoning that Damie himself is not restricted to one type of music. He has demonstrated his competence and ability on Afrobeats, Afrofusion, Trap, and R&B. The one constant is the quality of instrumentals he feeds to artistes to make life easier for them, and it is a very high quality indeed.

The young maestro has previously claimed that beat making is his means of expressing himself and channelling his energy. That perhaps accounts for the originality that colours his beats beautifully. He has a great ear for details too, and in combination with his uniqueness, you can rightfully guess that the who’s who of the industry are about knocking on Damie’s door for beats with which to make their next big hit. His time is now, and it’s also time you acquaint yourself with a name you are sure to be hearing for many years to come.
