Meet the Sound Geniuses Behind the Hits – Including Rising Star DjMondo!
Afrobeats has become a global phenomenon, and while artists often get the spotlight, the real sound magicians behind the scenes are the record producers. From cooking up fire instrumentals to shaping an artist's sound, these producers are the hidden architects of chart-topping bangers.
In this blog, we count down the Top 10 Afrobeats Record Producers of 2025 — the beatmakers, innovators, and hit crafters you need to know.

Notable Work: "Mad" (with Wurld), “Monalisa Remix” (with Lojay & Chris Brown)
2. Pheelz – Mr. Finesse
