About
PROFILE DESCRIPTION 🎶 Senior Music Producer, Educator & Audio Specialist | 10+ Years Experience I work with serious clients—artists, brands, media teams, and educators—who value clarity, quality, and professional execution. My name is Mfoniso Akpan. I am a Bachelor's degree-trained music professional with over 10 years of experience in music production, songwriting, audio engineering, podcast production, broadcasting, and music education. I help clients transform ideas into polished, market-ready sound for streaming platforms, media, education, and digital products. If you are looking for cheap or rushed work, I am not the right fit. If you want clean, intentional, high-impact audio and music, we will work very well together. 🧠 What clients actually hire me for: Strong musical judgment, not guesswork Deep understanding of music theory and real-world application Broadcast and streaming-ready audio standards Clear communication and structured workflow Reliability, deadlines, and professional decision-making 🎧 Music Production & Sound Design ($50–$100/hr) I produce high-quality, custom music for artists, podcasts, media brands, film, ads, and educational platforms. Genres include Afrobeats, Hip-hop, R&B, EDM, Highlife, Pop, Jazz, Gospel, and African fusion. I work with Logic Pro X, Cubase, Reason, and FL Studio. Deliverables include full production, arrangement, editing, stems, and platform-optimised masters. ✍🏽 Songwriting & Composition I write emotionally grounded songs with clear direction and purpose, not generic templates. This includes original songs, co-writing, toplines and hooks, and music for media or sync-style use. Clients hire me when they need musical clarity, not just lyrics. 🎛️ Mixing, Mastering & Audio Optimization I deliver clean, balanced, competitive sound optimised for Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, podcasts, and radio. Ideal for clients who want their audio to sound professional immediately. 🎙️ Podcast Production & Broadcast Audio With experience in radio presenting, scriptwriting, and podcast production, I help creators and organisations sound confident, polished, and credible. Services include podcast editing, audio cleanup, intros and outros, sound design, and broadcast-ready delivery. 🎸🎷 Session Guitar & Saxophone Recording I provide professional remote recordings for acoustic and electric guitar, as well as lead and background saxophone. Perfect for songs, film cues, and premium productions that need real musicianship. 🎓 Music Education & Curriculum Design I also work with adult learners, independent musicians, music schools, and ed-tech platforms. I teach music theory, harmony, ear training, songwriting, and music production in a clear, practical, non-academic way that actually works for modern musicians. ⭐ Why high-value clients choose me Over 10 years of professional experience Degree-trained and industry-tested Strong creative and technical judgment Clear communication and reliability Comfortable working remotely with international clients 🤝 Working with me I typically work on hourly projects between $50 and $100 per hour, as well as fixed-price projects with a clearly defined scope. If your project requires musical intelligence, precision, and taste, send a message and let’s discuss your goals.Read more
