Kooms - Music Producer

Kooms, a producer whose journey from church sound systems to crafting hits for artists is a masterclass in persistence and finding your sound.

Kooms pulls back the curtain on his creative process, revealing why he always starts with the drums, the one plugin he swears by, and how a single week in Montreal yielded five finished tracks.

He opens up about the pivotal moment a top-tier producer validated his work, giving him the confidence to fully pursue his craft, and the importance of patience in a world of instant gratification

This is a must-listen for any aspiring producer or artist. It’s a raw look at the lessons learned behind the boards, emphasising that the right mindset is just as important as the right plug-in.

Kooms is a producer and creative collaborator shaping music across languages, cultures, and styles, all while rooted in Afro-diasporic energy. Born in Ghana and now based in Canada, his multicultural experiences inform a sound that honours heritage while staying firmly planted in modern musical consciousness.

He works with artists to discover their unique voice, often encouraging performances in their native languages to capture their strongest expression. Whether it’s rap, Afro R&B, or cross-diaspora collaborations, his productions spark inspiration and help artists define signature sounds that feel authentic and intentional.

Currently finishing one project and preparing new collaborations, Kooms continues to explore diverse sounds, bridging cultures and building a body of work that reflects both the artist and his own creative vision.
