In the heart of East Africa, a new musical force has emerged, and his name is NIYONKURU Nizard, known to the world as Niz Beatz. Born on June 29, 1997, in Rusizi/Kamembe, Rwanda, Niz Beatz’s rise to prominence is not a story of privilege or formal education but of determination, resilience, and an unyielding desire to create music that resonates on a global scale.
The Unconventional Path to Greatness
What sets Niz Beatz apart from many in the music industry is his unconventional journey to becoming one of East Africa’s leading music producers. He did not attend a music school or learn through traditional methods. Instead, Niz Beatz’s education came from self-discipline, online tutorials, and a constant pursuit of knowledge from those already in the game. “I didn’t study music in school. I learned through the internet, tutorials, and slowly soaking up the wisdom from those around me,” he shares. His dedication to mastering music production software and techniques paved the way for him to create beats and recordings that would soon take the African music scene by storm.
What started as a passion project turned into a thriving career in 2017 when Niz Beatz fully immersed himself in the music production industry. With limited resources but an abundance of talent and determination, he began producing music that was not only captivating but also set to redefine the sound of modern East African music.
Creating Hits That Define an Era
Niz Beatz’s productions have taken the airwaves by storm, with his name now synonymous with chart-topping hits across East Africa. His beats have powered some of the most memorable songs in contemporary Rwandan music, including:
- “Say My Name” – Kenny Sol
- “Igikwe” – Gabiro feat. Confy
- “Agatunda” – Afrique
- “Forget” – Kenny Sol
- “Kidding” – Sat B
- “Akanyenga” – Afrique
- “Setu” – Alyn Sano
- “Wibeshya” – Bwiza & MICO THE BEST
- “Mali” – Confy
- “Wahalla” – Kenny Sol feat. Danny Nanone
- “Kigali” – Kid Gaju feat. Juno Kizigenza
- “So Far” – Dany Nanone
Each of these tracks reflects Niz Beatz’s innate ability to blend modern beats with African rhythms, creating timeless hits that transcend borders. His sound has become a defining element of Rwanda’s musical landscape and is now gaining international recognition.
A Vision Beyond Boundaries
While Niz Beatz’s success in Rwanda is impressive, he has his sights set on an even grander goal: to make his mark on the global music scene. In 2021, he took a significant step in realizing this vision by acquiring his own studio, Touch Records, which now serves as the base for his growing empire. Niz Beatz’s ambition doesn’t stop there. He is expanding his reach, working on projects with artists from Uganda and Kenya, with many more collaborations set to be released soon.
“I’m expanding my horizons,” Niz Beatz shares. “East Africa has so much talent, and I want to help bring that talent to the world. Music knows no borders. If the song is good, it will be heard.” His unwavering commitment to spreading the East African sound globally is just the beginning of what is poised to be an international takeover.
Building a Legacy: Empowering the Next Generation of Artists
What truly sets Niz Beatz apart from others in the industry is his dream to give back. While he is already an influential producer, he envisions himself as a mentor and a catalyst for change in the music industry. ” Becoming an artist is not part of my career goals. I have my own songs, but my dream is to build a big music label that will support young, emerging artists,” Niz Beatz explains. His label will focus on nurturing talent, particularly those artists who are just starting their journey in the music industry.
” I aim to support those with talent but lack the resources. They need someone to guide them and help them get their foot in the door,” Niz Beatz says. His vision of empowerment extends beyond producing music — he aims to create a sustainable platform that will elevate the next generation of African musicians to global heights.
A Humble Outlook on Awards and Recognition
Despite the countless nominations he has received, Niz Beatz remains humble. “I don’t focus on awards. They’re nice, but I believe that my time will come,” he says. His focus is not on accolades but on the music itself and the artists he helps along the way. Niz Beatz’s unshakable belief that the best is yet to come fuels his determination to keep pushing the boundaries of East African music.
A Global Star in the Making
From self-taught music enthusiast to a renowned producer with a global vision, Niz Beatz’s journey is one that inspires and captivates. His story is a testament to the power of hard work, perseverance, and the endless possibilities that come with believing in yourself and your craft. As Niz Beatz continues to work with the biggest names in music and expand his reach across East Africa, there is no doubt that his influence will only continue to grow.
