Manchester-based Nigerian producer and sound architect Kenwiza steps boldly into the spotlight with ‘TRIPS, VOL. 1’, a deeply immersive debut EP that transforms emotion, love, and lived experiences into a captivating Afrobeats journey.
Already respected behind the scenes for production work connected to over 300 million streams and collaborations with artists like Victony, Falz, Gunna, and Victor Thompson, Kenwiza now takes centre stage with a project that feels personal, fearless, and emotionally rich.
Raised in Port Harcourt and now based in Manchester, the producer continues to shape a sound rooted in Afrobeats, R&B, alté, and genre-fluid experimentation.
At its core, ‘TRIPS, VOL. 1’ explores the emotional highs and turns that come with love, attraction, uncertainty, and devotion.
Across four tracks, Kenwiza crafts a sonic experience that feels smooth, intentional, and emotionally honest, while also spotlighting emerging talents from different corners of the world.
The standout moment arrives with ‘Yes!’ featuring Puppatiya a vibrant, euphoric anthem bursting with infectious melodies, sleek vocals, and irresistible energy.
The track captures the thrilling feeling of emotional validation and instant chemistry, blending club-ready bounce with smooth Afrobeats textures.
It’s the kind of song that feels equally perfect for late-night drives and dancefloor moments.
Elsewhere, tracks like “Glory”, “How?”, and “Waiting” deepen the project’s emotional arc, moving between admiration, confusion, longing, and commitment.
Despite the shifting moods, Kenwiza’s signature production style keeps the EP cohesive, warm, and atmospheric.
With ‘TRIPS, VOL. 1’, Kenwiza proves that producers can do far more than stay behind the boards.
This is not just an EP it’s a statement of identity, freedom, and creative ownership.
