Kelvin Udoma is cut from a different breed. The 26-year-old producer-artiste has coined a legacy of creating music that is very difficult to ignore. From producing on Grammy-winning records like Wizkid’s Made In Lagos and Angelique Kidjo’s Mother Nature, to creating his just-released debut tape, Bully Season Vol 1, the Aristokrat Records front man, professionally known as Kel-P, is among the prominent sound shapers behind the globally-appealing sonic shift in Afrobeats.
Despite being known for working with stars like Burna Boy, Wizkid, Rema, among others, Kel-P steps out with a 5-tracker EP with no guest features. With Bully Season Vol 1, the young musician creates a stunning body of work, which is a statement record addressing an age-long skepticism of his singing prowess. He delves for an embracing Pop sound, with a melange of Caribbean and African influences, hacking an authentic and unique sound style that reflects in-depth fusion.
We went to make a song together and Sarz was like, ‘why won’t one of you become a producer, because you guys are seven in number and nobody produces music and all of that.’ And I told Sarz, ‘of course why not.’ And then I decided to be the person to be the producer. Throughout the whole of 2017, I was living with Sarz, because he trained me; he showed me how to make beats and all of that.
I have recorded every Afrobeats artistes you can think of and I recorded them in the studio. So, while working with them, I am learning in the process, seeing how they are making their music, and seeing how they are arranging the process. So, it’s like I am producing the music for you guys and at the same time, I am learning from you. So, that’s how I gathered the whole experience of singing all of that and put it in my own career right now. I am always learning the process.
You recently worked on the soundtrack for the Hollywood blockbuster, Creed III. How did it all come about? So, right now, I am just pushing the song, promoting the song. My team and I are just pushing the song to make sure that people get to know the music, the music gets across to people globally before I hit the stage. So, when I hit the stage, they will be singing it with me.Trust me, this is a body of work I made like two and a half years ago. I just left it there, because I think I recorded 120 songs.
