My sound was the benchmark for other Afrobeats producers – Sarz

A renowned Afrobeats producer Osabuohien Osaretin popularly known as Sarz, has claimed that his sound has set the standard for other creatives in the industry.

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

While speaking in a video message shared on his Instagram page, Sarz claimed that no one was producing that kind of music prior to him and Wizkid creating the sound for their hit song, “Samba.”

In his words:

“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.”
