Nigerian music producer, Sarz, has claimed credit for creating the sound that other Afrobeats producers currently use as a baseline.
According to him, Wizkid was the first to recognize his sound and grasp his vision early.
Speaking in a video message shared via his Instagram page, Sarz said before he made ‘Samba’ with Wizkid, no one was making that kind of sound.
In his words;
“I made a sound that became a benchmark for other Afrobeats producers to follow.
“I made a sound called ‘Samba.’ I remember no one was making anything like that at that time. I just wanted to do something that is African but at the same time the world in general understands. It was only Wizkid that saw the idea and knew exactly where I was coming from when I made Samba.”
