An interview with fast-rising Nigerian music producer YO X

Two years later, YO X has his name tag on era-defining hit songs of Shallipopi and Rema. For the young producer, it’s a pleasure to work with these stars as these are the heights he hopes to reach in his journey of writing his name in Nigerian music folklore.

Like many musicians and producers in Nigerian music, YO X’s first professional interaction with music came in the church where he played the piano and rose to the position of Music Director.
