About Major Bangz

My parents christened me Michael and my production “journey” started when I was in secondary school. At that time, we weren’t introduced to digital music production. We were not gurus or very good on the piano (hey, no parent wanted their kids dabbling into music then), but we had tricks that we could use to make music. After making the beat, we would save it on a diskette then take it to a dj to transfer it to tape.The dream grew much bigger when I got admitted into University of Nigeria Nsukka – UNEC Campus.There I met some chaps and we became friends. They were already ahead of me in the science and art of music production.We learnt from each other (as irsharpeneth iron and cuts away firewood) and we later formed a production team called “Department of Sound”. It comprised of Noizque, BeatOven and myself.Noizque came up the brilliant idea of playing the beats we made for artists instead of just keeping them under our beds and bumping heads to them.It was from there we had the opportunity of meeting Mr Chris who was Waje‘s manager at the time. Long story short, we succeeded in making a record for Waje called “Super Women”. It was an amazing record, an rnb-hip hop type joint. Unfortunately the record was never released due to issues between Waje and the record company. My artistic/production fantasy is driven by so many factors, my emotions for one – yes, what I’m going through at a particular time has a way of fuelling the work. Also my production mentors… In hiphop they are a whole lot Just Blaze, Timbaland, Justice League, Swizz Beatz,Rick Rubin,Boi1da, Hit Boy, Cardiak, Neptunes, Noah “40” Shebib, The Incredibles, Ryan Leslie, Rico Love and Kanye West to mention a few. Then producers like Major Lazer, Skrillex, Kill the Noize, Diplo, Swedish House Mafia, Avicii, Hardwell who are well known in the EDM circle just make wanna improve every friggin day.
