In an amazing account of his ascent to fame, producer Andre Vibez disclosed that, in his hard times, he used to charge just N500 for production work, even though he was the famous singer Sir Victor Uwaifo's son.
Andre Vibez shared a deep reflection on his journey to this point in his article, emphasizing that he had to put in a lot of work to establish himself in the industry.
He claims that he began composing songs for people at a modest rate in the hopes of becoming well-known eventually. But his father, who thought it best to let him go his own way, did not encourage him.
He said: “When I started music; producing for people, I started by charging N500.
“I had my expectations when I was starting out. My dad is not the kind of person who would hold your hand and say, this is who you should know. In fact, he never introduced me to anybody.”
Andre Vibez’s big break came when he met Don Jazzy, who eventually signed him to Mavin Records.
This opportunity catapulted him to success, producing global Afrobeats hits like Rema and Selena Gomez’s ‘Calm Down’ and Ayra Starr’s ‘Rush’.
His work on ‘Rush’ earned him a Grammy nomination for Best African Music Performance at the 2024 Grammys.
According to him, the reward is sweeter because of the persistence and the positivity he maintained throughout his career.
