“I had a dream about Fela and this was all what he told me” – Sarz on what inspired the Jaiye Jaiye beat


Nigerian award-winning producer, Osabuohien Osaretin, better known by his stage name Sarz, has revealed the inspiration behind Wizkid’s hit track “Jaiye Jaiye”

However, he produced the track which was regarded as one of Wizkid’s biggest hits ever featuring Femi Kuti back in 2013. A fan asked the producer, what inspired the Jaiye Jaiye beat and Sarz took to his official Twitter handle to share how it happened. 

As stated by him, he had a dream where he was with Fela Kuti, who lectured him on the spirituality of music. As the discussion continued, someone started knocking on his door and it was Wizkid. 

He disclosed that the “Joro” singer told him to add the sound from the door to a best and send it to him. Sarz said he woke up and the rest is history.
