If you’ve been tuning in to the evolving soundscape of Nigerian Afrobeats, there’s a name that’s fast becoming impossible to ignore: Damola Davis.

With an energy that commands attention and a vibe that lingers long after the song ends, Damola Davis is carving out a unique lane in the ever-expanding world of Afrobeats. But beyond the magnetic presence and genre-bending sound lies a team of creatives helping shape his sonic identity. One of them is the low-key but masterful mixing and mastering artist simply known as BUK.

In 2022, Damola Davis made a significant move by teaming up with Afrobeats heavyweight L.A.X, known for his collaborations with industry giants like Wizkid. The result of that collaboration was the infectious banger “Don Dada,” a track that has already racked up over half a million views on YouTube and millions of streams across digital platforms.

What makes “Don Dada” special isn’t just the synergy between Damola Davis and L.A.X or the vibrant instrumentation. There’s an invisible layer, a polished sonic glue, that binds it all together. That’s where BUK steps in. Known for his meticulous ear and years of experience in audio engineering, BUK doesn’t just mix tracks. He crafts them. He prefers to be called a mixing and mastering artist, and rightly so. His attention to detail and ability to elevate a track’s emotional core sets him apart in an industry where the limelight often misses the most crucial contributors.

BUK’s work on “Don Dada” is nothing short of spectacular. The clarity in vocals, the richness of the layers, the perfectly balanced frequencies, all of it speaks to someone who has mastered not just the technicals, but the soul of sound. It’s no wonder the track continues to resonate deeply with fans long after its release.

And while their stage names may command attention, their real identities ground their artistry. Damola Davis is Adedamola Ogundipe, BUK is Bukunmi Onasanya, and L.A.X is Damilola Afolabi. These are the names behind the vibe, the craftsmen responsible for some of the most captivating sonic experiences in modern Afrobeats.

As Damola Davis continues to blaze his path and push the boundaries of Afrobeats, it’s clear his sound isn’t just a product of raw talent. It’s the result of a finely tuned creative ecosystem. Behind every unforgettable drop and every smooth transition is a craftsman like BUK, sculpting frequencies with the precision of a seasoned artist.

In a world where the spotlight often skips the backroom brilliance, let this be a loud nod to the unsung heroes of sound. BUK isn’t just mixing music. He’s shaping the future of how we feel it.
