About

I’m Samuel Daniel Usim, a songwriter and music producer based in Lagos, Nigeria, building original records from first concept to a finished, release-ready track. My approach focuses on the complete record—lyrics, melody, hooks, structure, arrangement, production, and the artist’s emotional and cultural identity—so the song feels clear, memorable, and cohesive as part of a larger project.

I’ve worked as the creative director, songwriter, and producer with MEGABOY/Classic Records, developing music across Afrobeats, Afro-fusion, Highlife, Afrobeat, Afro-Amapiano, and R&B/Soul. I enjoy artist development and A&R-style project decisions, directing collaborations and sequencing so each release (including album-style projects) lands with strong narrative direction, sonic identity, and replay value.
