Sarz, born on the 17th of March, 1989 in Nigeria, is a highly acclaimed record producer and musician known for his exceptional work in the Nigerian music industry. He has made a significant impact by producing tracks for some of the biggest names in Afrobeat and hip-hop, including Wizkid, Naeto C, Banky W., Skales, Reminisce, Wande Coal, Niniola, and many others.
Sarz's love for music can be traced back to his childhood, where he was heavily influenced by the late 1990s American hip-hop producers. This early exposure to music production sparked a passion within him, and at the young age of 15, he sold his first beat. It was clear from a young age that Sarz had a natural talent and ear for music production.
After honing his craft and gaining valuable experience, Sarz was signed to Trybe Records. However, he decided to part ways with the record label after his contract expired in November 2013. This period of independence allowed him to further explore his creative vision and establish himself as a sought-after music producer in the industry.
One of Sarz's most notable achievements was being nominated for the Nigeria Entertainment Awards 2012 Producer of the Year award, alongside the legendary Don Jazzy. Although Don Jazzy ultimately won the award, he graciously passed it on to Sarz in recognition of his talent and contribution to the music industry.
In 2021, Sarz was honored with the Music Producer of the Year award at the Afro X Digitals Awards, further solidifying his reputation as one of the top music producers in Nigeria.
Additionally, Sarz has been involved in various high-profile collaborations, including serving as the executive producer for the official Hennessy Artistry 2014 theme song "Dance Go (Eau de Vie)," which featured Wizkid and 2face Idibia. His dynamic and innovative production style has earned him critical acclaim and the respect of his peers in the industry.
Although Sarz keeps a relatively low profile when it comes to his personal life, it is evident that his passion for music is at the core of everything he does. His dedication to his craft, combined with his unique sound and artistic vision, has solidified his place as a trailblazer in the Nigerian music scene.
