Music producer of the year

K

The biggest hit songs are usually collaborative efforts, but in most cases, the vocalists take the lead, often leaving producers or composers in the shadows. At tjil, we acknowledge talent - both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. We present to you the top music producers of 2021.

Andrew On The Beat

The main producer behind the duo Ethnix, it should come as no surprise that Andrew On The Beat made this list. Besides Ethnix, he also works closely with TopCheri, Manxebe, Nally and more. Based on the hits he churned out this year, it seems he can do no wrong - everything he touches turns into gold.

DJ KBoz

Equally – if not more – talented, the more experienced DJ KBoz has multiple credits to his name. He worked closely on Waters’ ‘Grey’ album. He also has credits on M.I.G’s ‘Nkeralina Deluxe EP’; just a few of the projects he worked on this year. What is commendable about his work ethic is he makes himself available to help the new crop of artists.

DJ Chronic

One of the music producers responsible for some of the biggest hits in Namibia this year, DJ Chronic influenced the Namibian sound by working with so many big artists who supplied the hits, both on radio and streaming platforms. He also united about 12 artists on one offering - his second studio album, ‘Boss’.

Mr Glo

A seasoned Namibian music producer, this year Mr Glo maintained his legacy by still being one of the go-to producers for hits. He has credits on some of the biggest projects that came out this year, including TopCheri and Manxebe’s joing album. Other artists he collaborated with include DJ Siya, Sunny Boy, Nally and more.
