Sarz Boasts, “My Sound Is The Benchmark For Other Afrobeats Producers.”

According to him, singer Wizkid was the first to recognize his sound and grasp his vision at an early age. 

The well-known Nigerian song producer Osabuohien Osaretin, better known by his stage name Sarz, has claimed credit for creating the sound that other Afrobeats producers now use as a guide.

According to him, singer Wizkid was the first to recognize his sound and grasp his vision at an early age.

Speaking in a video message posted on his Instagram page, Sarz claimed that no one was producing that particular sound prior to him and Wizkid creating “Samba.”

He said, “I made a sound that became a benchmark for other Afrobeats producers to follow.

“I made a sound called ‘Samba.’ I remember no one was making anything like that at that time. I just wanted to do something that is African but at the same time the world in general understands. It was only Wizkid that saw the idea and knew exactly where I was coming from when I made Samba.”
