Pheelz, a Nigerian musician and song producer, referred to his recent collaboration with American R&B star Usher as “dream come true.”
According to insiders, Pheelz features on the song ‘Ruins’ from Usher’s most recent album, ‘Homecoming.’
Pheelz talked about his partnership with Usher in a recent interview with Apple Music, stating that it exemplifies the power of ambition and the advancements made by Nigerian music.
He said that while he was growing up in Nigeria, Usher was his role model.
“I would listen to Usher almost every day growing up. I literally dived into his albums and learned from him. And to be able to write, produce, and teach him [Usher] in a way, it shows me how far the [Nigerian] music has gone. It shows me how far dreams can go as well,” Pheelz said.
In 2012, he made his breakthrough as a musical producer when he worked on Olamide’s smash hits “First of All” and “Fucking with the Devil” from his YBNL album. Pheelz was included in the list of “Top 10 Hottest Producers in Nigeria” by NotJustOk in 2013.
