I Did Not Make The Pana Beat For Tekno – Krizbeat

Top producer/artiste Krizbeat has opened up more on the song Pana which pushed him into the limelight. Krizbeat who produced the song for singer Tekno, in a new interview with Saturday Beats revealed that the beat was actually not meant for Tekno. “I met Tekno online and he told me he wanted us to work together because I usually shared beats with him online. I went to his house, played him some beats and he liked them. But there was a particular day he visited my studio while I was producing for another musician. Apparently, the artiste didn’t like the beat but Tekno fell in love with it. We later had an agreement that I should make another beat for the artiste while Tekno took the first one.” Kriz continued saying the person who he made the beat for called afterwards to congratulate him on the success of the song, not knowing it was the beat he rejected.  “Even when I told him it was the beat he rejected, he argued that it was better than what he heard. I guess since Tekno is a very good producer as well, he knows what good beats sound like. But I didn’t know he was a producer until I visited his house.  “I laugh when people say Tekno is arrogant because he is one of the most humble people I have met. In life, if you are known for always speaking your mind, people perceive it as arrogance.”   On attracting top acts in the country to work with him, he said; “It was really a challenge to get people to hear what I had to offer at a time. There is the belief that once a song is not produced by a known producer, it is not good enough. I went to some artistes and tried to convince them to listen to my production, but they never did. “I can never forget how I was treated and felt when I went to a very popular artiste’s house. I took a yellow taxi cab and I ended up spending N50, 000 in a day without achieving anything.  He said we should reschedule the meeting and he didn’t call me back until I became who I am today. But I didn’t behave as if we had met before when he reached out to me.” Photo Credit: Getty
