A new melodic wave is rising within Afrobeats, and at the forefront is Fez, one of the most influential young producers shaping today’s breakout hits. In a year defined by digital virality and cross border appeal, Fez has emerged as a standout force. His impact is measurable: he has spent 11 consecutive weeks on the TurnTable Official Producer Chart, breaking into the Top 20 and cementing his status as one of the country's most important new generation producers.
Fez’s fingerprints are on some of the most dominant records of the moment, including CKay and Mavo’s “BODY (danz)” which peaked at No. 1 on the Official Nigeria Top 100. His production also powers Nello MXL’s “Well and Melanin”, as well as Tariq’s “Jigga”, songs that have surged across TikTok and become favourites in clubs, schools, and on the streets. From high tempo viral anthems to soft R and B infused mid tempos, Fez is shaping the sound listeners are gravitating toward.
What sets him apart is his approach. Fez is part of the generation redefining Afrobeats beyond dance alone blending rhythmic bounce with emotion, vulnerability, and melody. His sound resonates across West Africa and Francophone markets, creating an Afrobeats that feels youthful, global, and deeply personal. TikTok has amplified this evolution, turning his beats into soundtracks for trends that travel from Lagos to London to Paris.
As Afrobeats continues its global ascent, Fez stands firmly among the producers leading the charge. With chart success, viral dominance, and a sound built on emotion and rhythm, he is shaping the next chapter of modern African music one beat at a time.
