I Produced Kukere In 20 Minutes

Producer and sound engineer, Adesanya Oladoyin Joshua, aka Dtunes, has sensationally claimed that it took him about 20 minutes to produce Iyanya’s hit song Kukere on the second albumn Your Waist. According to Dtunes, the album was recorded and produced in in a studio without booth (one without sound-proof). “It is all about creativity and your ability to manipulate ideas. It might seem unbelieable to many people, but it took me about 20 minutes to produce such a monsturous song,” he said.  He described his first meeting with Iyanya as “divinely programmed”.

“I did a song for Dammy Krane and Iyanya’s manager stumbled on it. He invited me to their studio and that was where the magic started,” he explained.

The 23-year old, who already has a string of hits, is aiming to work with the big acts in the industry. Among artistes he has worked with are Dipp, Reminisce, Dammy Krane, Flowssick, Skales, 9ice as well asTuface in a song Life is Beautiful. He has also worked with K1 and reecntly produced a song for Wizkid. Dtunes has been recognised in the industry, receiving nominations as Producer of the Year at several awards ceremonies, including this year’s Headies. Dtunes started music as a teenager in the Redeemed Christian Church of God, where his father was minister. It was in the church that he learned how to play different instruments and later joined the church choir as a keyboardist and a drummer.
