One of the most dynamic producers and songwriters coming out of the African music scene, with a slew of globally recognizable hit records under his belt, the Nigerian sound, and wordsmith, Killertunes has released his impactful debut album KillaXtra.
Taking the helm on production over the sensually cool 13-track LP, KillaXtra sees Killertunes stepping from behind the scenes to adding his own vocals to the project, while collaborations from the cream of the crop of Afrobeats across Africa and the UK such as Odunsi (The Engine), Kida Kudz, Midas The Jagaban and Sha Sha and some tropical Caribbean flavor from Walshy Fire create a melodious, thought-provoking body of work that proves that Killertunes is not just a master on the pads but is also a beast on the mic.
Collaborating with some of the most celebrated musicians across the vibrant Afrobeats space, Killertunes’ unique, award-winning sounds are not defined by genre or location, and his talents have been propelled across the international music scene. In 2020, he produced the smash single Lento by Afrobeats superstar Mr. Eazi and prolific Latin American singer J Balvin, and in the same year worked on the track Combo for the Italian rap artist Ghali.
After developing an inclination towards music in his teens, Killertunes made the move to Lagos from South Nigeria in 2014 to pursue a career in music production. While working with Timaya in 2016, Killertunes met Spinall who later signed a management deal with him. Killertunes would go on to produce Wizkid’s Manya, Nowo, and Fake Love. Olamide’s Motigbana and Woske and Mr Eazi’s Doyin ft Simi. He has also recently created hit collaborations with Mayorkun, Joeboy, Kizz Daniel, and many more.

Emerging as an artist in his own right with the release of his debut album and with the single Light Up – featuring the Grammy Award-winning Jamaican DJ Walshy Fire, A-list EDM DJ LikeMike and Zimbabwean songstress Sha Sha- already enjoying massive radio airplay across the continent and beyond, Killertunes is well on his way to putting his one of a kind sound and creativity firmly on the international music map.
