Apple Music has expanded its flagship African Music playlist and radio brand, Africa Now, to include a new monthly DJ Mix created exclusively for the platform.
The next DJ to create an Africa Now DJ Mix is Nigerian producer, engineer and musician, Sarz (real name Osabuohien Osaretin), who has made an undeniable impact on the music scene, working on some of Afrobeats’ biggest global hits including, including Wizkid(“Come Closer”), Drake feat. Wizkid & Kyla (“One Dance”), Beyonce (“FIND YOUR WAY BACK”), Niniola (“Maradona”) and the latest single from Tems (“Not An Angel”).
“This is a mix of some of my favourite songs heating up Africa Now and a few of my personal favourites,” Sarz tells Apple Music. “I invite you to a little part of the madness in my head. Enjoy!”
Born and raised in Benin City, Edo State, Sarz’s professional music career took off after producing rapper Lord of Ajasa’s “See Drama”, and developing his signature tags “Sarz On The Beat” and “Really”, which he adds to the beginning and end of the tracks he works on. These tags have become synonymous with a fine-tuned, club-ready blend of hip-hop and contemporary R&B that has seen him become one of Afrobeats’ pioneers.
