Joseph Kwame Addison, popularly known as KillBeatz, the Man to be celebrated

-



Joseph Kwame Addison, popularly known as KillBeatz, is a Ghanaian music producer and sound engineer. He is a member of music group R2bees and is also the CEO of Legacy Life Entertainment, which has signed the Ghanaian musician King Promise


KillBeatz started playing instruments for his church before he ventured into secular music. He started as a rapper and later switched to music production. He got the name KillBeatz from Ghanaian rapper Omar Sterling (Paedae) of R2Bees. He was helped by Ghanaian music producer Kaywa at the early stage of his career.






He reported to the manager of the studio and insisted he could produce his own beat as he could already play the keyboard, and all he needed was help with the setup , as he had no prior knowledge in using DAWs at the time.  The manager’s reaction after he produced …”You are better than the producer , You need to come and work ! ” , so KillBeatz started working and eventually all customers preferred him over the previous producer. He has worked with artists like Sarkodie, Efya, R2Bees, Wizkid, Ed Sheeran, and Fuse ODG, among others.







The various genres of music he produces for include highlife, hiplife, Azonto, Afrobeats, gospel and afro-pop. In 2012, KillBeatz contributed heavily to the Azonto music genre by producing beats for a lot of Azonto songs during its prime.


Killbeatz won Producer of the Year at the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) in 2013, 2014, and 2018. He received production credit on a song titled "Bibia Be Ye Ye" by British singer Ed Sheeran featuring UK-based Ghanaian artiste Fuse ODG. The song was part of Ed Sheeran’s ÷ ("Divide") album, which won Best Pop Vocal Album at the 60th Grammy Awards in 2018.


This year, KILL BEATZ with his Artist King Promise  took the Artiste of the Year Award at the 26th edition of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA).



He beat competition from Stonebwoy, Joe Mettle, Black Sheriff, King Paluta, Team Eternity and Kwaku Smoke.


“I want to say thank you to one man who trained my life. KillBeatz is a legacy in live entertainment,” he said (King Promise). 


I end my saying Legacy Life Entertainment is a records that need to be celebrated and uphold in high esteem.

MTN’s clear disinterest in addressing the loopholes within its mobile money system - Yaw Ntim Afriyie speaks Out  Yaw Ntim Afrifa, a Brand Strategist and lead of Euphrate Agency and Oxcode.io on his Facebook page speak on MTN  MobileMoney Limited (MoMo), the operating service, which has refuted allegations of a system breach of a viral social media complaint from a customer who claimed GH¢11,000 was withdrawn from her mobile wallet without her consent. Sometime back, when the Government of Ghana was pressing MTN Ghana in an attempt to minimize its enormous market share, I didn’t understand. My position was: why would you make a business suffer for its product and marketing brilliance? I guess now I do understand. MTN’s clear disinterest in addressing the loopholes within its mobile money system stems from one primary fact — it doesn’t hurt their numbers. MTN controls some crazy market elasticity, where even in the face of a full-blown scandal, the company still retains a massi...

Gideon Aryeequaye appointed as the Executive Secretary of CAA marks  the beginning of a new dawn for the creatives. Kojo Preko Dankwa (FOCAP President) writes I am happy with the current government in appointing a substantive executive secretary for the Creative Arts Agency(CAA).   Indeed, this shows the level of interest, energy, and zeal to see the Creative Arts sector grow up.  This is not a government that didn't take seriously the Creative Arts sector but rather toyed with the business and lives of the Creatives by shamelessly living it in the hands of the former  President's  Daughter (Gyankroma Akuffo Addo) to operate as if  it was her personal property.   Ministers couldn't speak the truth to power and did not have the balls to drop Gyankroma Akuffo Addo but rather allowed her to deepen the woes of the creative arts sector as the illegal executive secretary of the Creative Arts Agency. When FOCAP and I decided to blow the whistle of being citiz...
