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.
