Masterkraft’s full name is Sunday Ginikachukwu Nweke. He is a well-known director, pianist, songwriter, and record producer from Nigeria. He was listed as the eighth-best music producer in Nigeria in 2014 by the Leadership newspaper.
Early Life & Education
On July 28, in the late 1980s, Masterkraft was born in Lagos State. He is a native of Enugu State, which is located in Nigeria’s southeast. He was very passionate about becoming an accountant when he was young. He completed his primary schooling at Ajeromi Ifelodun Local Government School in Lagos State, where he also took the common entrance exam. As a result of his outstanding performance, the government later offered him a scholarship.
Due to his parents’ lack of understanding regarding the value of education, they turned down the scholarship opportunity, which ultimately crushed Masterkraft’s dream of becoming an accountant. He had to work extremely hard to provide for himself and his family after losing his father when he was still a young child.
Career
Masterkraft began his exceptional career as a DJ at a young age by singing in his church’s junior choir. Masterkraft signed a contract to become an official DJ for Kennis Music, one of Nigeria’s largest record labels, in 2009. He didn’t give up even after meeting Nigeria’s most well-known rapper, MI Abaga, who later introduced him to Banky W, another prominent figure in the music industry.
Masterkraft’s popularity grew, and he produced a number of top hits in Nigeria, including “Jasi” by Bank W, “Girl” by Bracket featuring Wizkid, “Fine Lady” by Lynxx and Wizkid, and many more. He rose to prominence after collaborating with Yoruba rapper CDQ to produce Olamide’s popular track Indomie.
