The Beatz Awards return in 2024, honouring the tenacity and resilience of the music producers, sound engineers, A&R specialists, and artist managers who continue to shape Nigeria’s vibrant and diverse sound. These unsung heroes work behind the scenes, crafting hits that dominate the airwaves and shaping the nation’s cultural influence. The Beatz Awards recognise their relentless dedication to bringing creativity to life, even as they often go unnoticed.

This year, the awards continue to innovate, expanding categories that celebrate the full range of Nigeria’s music production ecosystem. This year, the awards continue to reflect the diversity and richness of sounds that go beyond genre boundaries. Nigerian music is dynamic, and this year’s edition acknowledges the breadth of talent that drives this dynamism.

Among the notable nominees are industry heavyweights like P.Priime, Blaise Beatz, Jaysynths, VTEK, and Bloody Civilian. Last year’s Smirnoff Female Producer of the Year winner, Saszy Afroshii, returns with another nomination, reflecting her continued rise in an industry where female producers are gaining well-deserved recognition. Their work, along with that of many others, has defined the sound of Nigerian music over the past year.

The Beatz Awards is also committed to recognising emerging talents, with categories like Don Jazzy New Discovery Producer of the Year showcasing fresh voices who are pushing boundaries and redefining the industry. The DJ of the Year and OAP of the Year categories highlight the essential roles that DJs and on-air personalities play in promoting and elevating Nigerian music, ensuring its reach extends across the country and beyond.

By continuing to innovate and shine a spotlight on the kingmakers behind the scenes, The Beatz Awards remains the foremost platform for recognizing the true architects of Nigeria’s music scene. For a full list of nominees and more details, visit : https://thebeatzawards.com/nominees2024/.
