Veteran music producer ID Cabasa recently shared insights into his long and successful career in Nigerian music. While he’s worked with stars like 9ice, Olamide, and Reminisce, there’s one artist he still hopes to collaborate with — Grammy winner Burna Boy.
“I’ve had a fulfilling journey working with great talents, but if there’s anybody I would still want to taste out of my music, it would be Burna,” Cabasa said. This shows just how much Burna Boy’s influence continues to grow in the industry.
ID Cabasa also hinted at another artist he likes musically but would avoid due to their troublesome behaviour. Though he didn’t name the person, many think he was referring to street-pop star Portable.
The producer’s music is deeply influenced by Nigerian legends like Fela Kuti, King Sunny Ade, and Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey, as well as international producers such as Dr. Dre and Scott Storch. Growing up in the Anglican Church also sparked his early love for music.
For over 20 years, his label Coded Tunez has helped launch major careers, including those of Lord of Ajasa, 9ice, Reminisce, and Olamide Baddo. His ability to find and nurture talent has made him a key figure in Nigeria’s music scene.
As the industry changes, Cabasa’s openness to working with new stars and his passion for music keep him relevant. His wish to work with Burna Boy promises exciting potential for future hits and growth in Nigerian music worldwide.
