You've got five minutes. Let's make it count. Cue my music.

The best five minute music podcast featuring Camp five Big vibes only. What's up? Welcome to the moment.

Today's guest is more than just a tag before a hit. He's a sonic architect shaping the future of Nigerian music.

I'm talking about Lauda, a gifted music producer and sound engineer whose work you've heard on tracks by Ira star DeVito and more. But what if I told you this story started with something deeper?

Louddaaa believes his path was revealed to him by God before he even knew what a music producer was. So today we're not just talking about his rise. We're diving into purpose, process, and what's coming next. So let's welcome Lauda.

So good to have you with us. How are you doing today, Louddaa?

Not bad at all. I mean, every day is work day for me.

So days ago I got a notification on Instagram that he went live. And I immediately just rushed. Rushed like Lauda is live. Let me see what's doing. And I noticed you were in Paris, the city of love.

Did you enjoy your stay there?

You know, when I get this question if I enjoy my stay in Paris, I'm always in between. Yes. And now. So know in the sense that most times when I go to Paris, I usually don't get the chance to explore the city or just chill and so on.

I go there to work, and work sometimes can be very tedious and so on. I enjoy the work part, but I mean, the whole city moving around, just enjoying the vibe of the city. Not really. Well, it was good.

I like the energy in Paris and then getting to work with French artists and so on. It was beautiful.

Have you tried the croissant?

Of course, yes. I mean, how would you be in Paris and not try that? Like, that's like the early morning breakfast. That's what we eat almost every morning.

Yeah, I have.

Let's get right in doing my research. I saw that he played the drums and used to play in church. By the way, guys, Lauda's first name is Kende. So I'm just gonna give you the name K Sticks.

Or maybe K Snares.

Yeah, Kenny K Sticks.

I wasn't far off. I mean, musicians are tagging their instruments to their name.

Yeah, but from first playing the drums at a children's day celebration in church to becoming a music producer and superstar, how did this happen?

All right, so like you said, everything started as I started as a drummer in church. I'm the kind of person that I want to do everything. You get. I get bored easily. You get like, I just want to have an idea of everything.

So then when I was playing drums, I just wasn't satisfied. I wanted to have an idea of the keyboard, have an idea of the bass. Just. I want to be able to direct the music, if that makes sense to you.

Like, you know, whenever I'm in the choir rehearsing, I. I usually just have, like, some amazing ideas that I want to share with the guys or with the team, but then I can play it.

So that curiosity just got me into, you know, diving into other instruments because I want to be able to communicate what I want to tell them and so on. You get so from playing the drums, you know, dive into learning how to play the keyboard, from there to the guitar and then to bass and so on.

And I like to say that God told me that I was going to be a producer even before I, you know, entered a studio or did anything production. I didn't even know what production was. I just knew that this thing that I'm listening to, I want to be the guy behind the console one day.

And, you know, this is me as a child, you know, always telling myself that. And so when people ask me, so what do you want to do when you get older? I'll be like, I don't know what to call, but I want to make music. Yeah.

And then I held on to that till I, you know, got into the university. And I remember on my way to class one day, I mean, I was still playing drums.

I played drums for a while, really professionally recorded in the studio, like, did so many amazing stuff with the drums. And. And my first second year in school, I became popular. I remember somebody asking me, oh, so what else do you do? And I go, I'm a producer.

I make music. As I then, I still haven't started making music yet. I just kept manifesting it and so if that makes sense to you.

But then I. I had an idea of it, but then I haven't done it proper. Proper, you know, and. Until one day my roommates came and said, oh, Kenny, this production thing really.

Shout said, dick, he just discovered this software that I can use to make beats. That was my first time seeing FL Studio in my life. And I saw his laptop and I was like, wow, what's this? What's this?

And then that was how everything started. I started, you know, practicing how to use that software. So. Because I could do it in my head, like, I'd always got myself a Producer and so on.

It was. It was easier for me to find my way around the software. I wish I could play some of the beat I made then.

I mean, I don't have them anymore, but then I wish I could listen to them. They. Yeah, so I was doing that for a while and I saw that, ah, it wasn't sounding bad at all.

So I reached out to some of my friends that could sing then, you know, told them about what I was doing, play them some of my beats. They loved it. Brought them to my house, would record with my.

With my earpiece, you know, that mic, you know, that is attached to the earpiece, would use that to record on top of the beat. And it wasn't, it wasn't bad at all. Like, you know, we're just happy.

And then after a while I came back home, so to pick, you know, the speakers in my dad's house. Then, you know, I remember putting them inside one big sack.

I put it on top of my head, you know, traveled back to accurately, you know, and then I bought it. I bought a table and a chair, arranged the speakers, you know, just clean up the house properly. And then I called the side of the house, my studio.

Coming up Next on the Best 5 Minute Music Podcast.

So on that faithful day, I was going on feeling like, God damn it, I just finished rehearsing. I'm going to be the next on the Royster. I'm going to be the next. I think I cried that night. It was heavy. Like I didn't understand what I was saying.
