The Beatz Awards 2025 delivered a night of celebration for Nigeria’s fast-rising sonic architect, Aykbeats, who walked away with not one, but two major category wins, thickening his footprint across Afrobeats’ evolving soundscape. The Lagos-based producer clinched both Afro Beat Producer of the Year for his stellar work on Ric Hassani’s “Moving Train” and Afro Soul Producer of the Year for Hassani’s soulful gem “Make Me Believe.”
The dual win marks one of the most defining moments of Aykbeats’ career, positioning him as a bridge between the genre’s rhythmic pulse and its deeper, emotional textures. His sound—clean, layered, intentional—has increasingly become the backbone of songs that blend commercial appeal with artistic depth.
In a heartfelt message shared on social media, Aykbeats offered gratitude wrapped in humility:
“I’d like to thank everyone who made this possible. Much love to my manager, Seyi Awonuga, for always holding it down. A big shout-out to Falz and Ric Hassani for the countless opportunities and for trusting me with their ideas. Above all, I thank God for the abundant talent He has given me. And finally, thank you, The Beatz Awards. I accept these awards, honored that my work has had a meaningful impact.”
