In a remarkable five-year journey, 23-year-old P.Priime has established himself as a leading force in Afrobeats, one of the world's fastest-growing musical genres. Born Peace Emmanuel Aderogba Oredope, P.Priime's talent was discovered at 17 when he produced the hit track 'Gelato' for DJ Cuppy featuring Zlatan Ibile. As a young producer, P.Priime has worked with Afrobeats legends like Burna Boy, Rema, and CKay, and has even co-produced Wizkid's Grammy-nominated album 'Made in Lagos.' His success lies in the 'groove' of his songs, which exudes a spontaneous energy that makes people want to dance. Afrobeats, which blends traditional African rhythms with contemporary pop sounds, has been gaining international recognition. The genre's roots date back to 1970s Nigeria, influenced by Nigerian megastar Fela Kuti. This year, several Nigerian superstars, including Davido, Wizkid, and Ayra Starr, were nominated for the 68th Grammy Awards. P.Priime believes the global success of Afrobeats lies in its ability to make people happy and move their bodies. He has won awards at the Headies and the All Africa Music Awards and has been recognized as one of Nigeria's youngest music producers. As P.Priime prepares to co-judge the new Nigerian reality TV show 'Next Afrobeats Star,' he shares his advice for aspiring artists: to succeed, they must have confidence in themselves, their team, and above all, convey their authenticity through their music. 'The biggest mistake would be to simply imitate those who have already found their place in a booming industry,' he said. With his talent, experience, and passion for Afrobeats, P.Priime is a rising star to watch in the music industry.
