P.Priime
Popular music producer P.Priime has come out to share how he made hits with Afrobeats superstars like Wizkid and Asake.
Hw recently had his say during an interview with Vanguard newspaper, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, working with established artists is always an amazing feeling for most beatmakers, and his hit records with Wizkid were inspired by both of them going with the flow in the studio.
He added that artists get inspired differently in the studio, stressing that while Rema might prefer to begin with a sample and build on it, Asake can casually vibe his way to a hit song.
His words, “It was amazing. I wouldn’t say I worked for them, but rather with them; it’s always a collaboration. Every artiste brings a different energy. With Wizkid, we just set the mood and go with the flow. With Rema, we might start from a beat or a sample and build from there. Asake? Once we’re in the studio, that’s it; vibes all through.”
On if his parents supported his creative journey, “My parents were very supportive, but I especially appreciate my brother. He always defended me when they complained about me staying out late. He would tell them to let me do what I loved. My dad bought me my first piano and even got me a music teacher after noticing my interest. My mum made sure she didn’t stress me out too much. All those little things added up and played a huge part in getting me here.”
On the challenges he regularly encounters, “Creative blocks are a real thing. At first, I was always in the studio because I found joy in that. But over time, I realised I needed to live life outside the studio too. That’s how I recharge; by going to the movies, clubs, and restaurants just to enjoy myself.
Also, navigating relationships with artistes and fellow creatives can be challenging. I am still learning, but communication is key. Everyone is human, and you just have to learn how to relate with people, whether it’s business, clearance, or creative collaboration.”
WOW.
