Music Producer, Joel Wilson is probably responsible for the production of some of Nigeria’s favorite music, as he has received production credits from big name artists within Nigeria and beyond.
The Producer has worked with several musical acts such as: Timi Dakolo, Praise, Onos, Glowreeyah Braimah and even South-African Singer Lulu Dikana.
Raised in a highly musical family, according to Wilson, he always had music around him.
His father was an Anglican choir director while his mom sang in the choir too. His siblings either went into singing, instrumentation or dancing.
Joel’s musical production skills were self-taught; as he developed himself on the job. His first professional work was in South-Africa, when he worked on the album of sonorous singer Lulu Dikana who unfortunately is now late.
Apart from music making, the producer also finds himself creating movie scores, an art he considers almost inevitable. His movie honors include Juliet Audu’s ‘Not Just Married’’
Sharing more on his music production career he said, “music scoring is very similar to film making; however, they are two different worlds”.
“As a movie score person, you are actually a film maker too. You have to know all the timings, bars and frames and know also how to sync”.
According to him, this, however, goes beyond music creation and transcends into art and film. But he says one can be a fantastic movie score person and not be a great music producer.
