From Accra to the world – Talking Beats with Juls

Thursday, 15 August 2019

As one of the most prolific producers in the booming African pop scene, the British born Ghanaian producer and DJ has been busy shaping the sound of the future over the past years.

As African pop music exploded on a global scale, his powerful minimalist Afropop beats are transforming the genre. The producer and DJ, who cites J Dilla and Kanye West as his main inspiration, has been exposed to incredible sounds in the UK and in Ghana, where he also resides, and has pioneered the sound of a new generation that has spread all over the world - influencing major global artists and upcoming talent alike. Juls has produced major records for artists like Mr. Eazi, Burna Boy, Goldlink, Masego, Kojey Radical, Stonebwoy and a host of others. During his Q&A at ADE Beats, Juls will discuss how Accra and the U.K. shaped him as producer, his unique role in the successful African pop music scene, and how he developed his extremely influential sound as a producer in-depth.
