Am not Okay

Music Producer is needed in Ibadan, Nigeria.

I’m looking for a beatmaker to produce a sad but energetic instrumental for my personal music project, ‘Am Not Okay.’ The song should start with a soft, ambient intro in the style of J-Hope’s ‘Sweet Dreams’, featuring gentle piano or pads and no drums, giving it a dreamy, reflective mood. After about 15 seconds, I want the beat to transition into an emotional, slow trap rhythm similar to Juice WRLD or XXXTentacion, with deep 808 bass, ticking hi-hats, and a subtle but snappy snare, keeping the emotional piano as the foundation. There should be a bridge with only piano and synth pad to create a spacious and lonely atmosphere, leading into a big final chorus with all layers: piano, drums, bass, and synths. The tempo should be around 80–85 BPM, and the feeling should be melancholic but powerful to support emotional singing or melodic rap. I am a young artist from Ibadan, Nigeria, ready to start my career and need someone who can deliver the beat quickly. I also need access to a studio and help with the beat production.

Examples:

I want a sad but energetic beat for my song titled “Am Not Okay.” The intro should sound like the beginning of J-Hope’s “Sweet Dreams” — soft, ambient, and emotional. It should start with a gentle piano or pad, echoing with reverb, and no drums. The mood should feel dreamy and reflective, almost like floating in memories.

After about 15 seconds, the beat should drop into a slow, emotional trap rhythm. Add deep 808 bass, ticking hi-hats (1/8 or 1/16 notes), a snappy but not harsh snare, and keep the sad piano underneath to carry the emotion. The vibe should feel like Juice WRLD or XXXTentacion — emotional but with bounce.

The bridge should remove all drums, leaving only piano and a soft synth pad to create a lonely, spacious feel. Add a subtle riser or effect to build into the final section.

The final chorus should be big and emotional, with all layers coming back in full — piano, drums, bass, and ambient synths. The tempo should be around 80–85 BPM. The overall mood is melancholic but powerful, perfect for singing or melodic rap with deep feelings.
