TK

TK is one Zambia's top producers known as the father of Zambian music production. He is also known as the Dr. Dre and Timbaland of Zambia. He makes different types of beats from Zed hip-hop to dancehall to RnB and Afro. One would think TK uses some ‘secret software’ because his sound output is so different from what most new Zambian producers are bringing out, but he’s mentioned he just rewires Cubase, Reason, Fruity Loops and other software.

He is was one of the first individuals to make a career out of music production in the country. He made his maiden beat when he was eight years old. He started Romaside Studios with his brothers in Lusaka’s Roma township and established himself as a leading producer in 1998. Between 2000 and 2003 he produced hits like Alubusu’s 'Bwela Panyumba', MKV’s 'Mai Junior' and 'Msizani', Master Flo’s 'Chimatibaba' and 'So Lucky' by Exile.

He credited for producing hit singles on the Nexus Music and Hot Top 10 Zed compilations of 2002 and 2004, respectively. He has produced for artists such as Kamaflage, The Third, Jimmy, Damiano, Shimpanzi and Hamoba. His success in the country's music circles made him get hired to judge some of the biggest local and international shows like Airtel Star Search, African Idols and Dreams Zambia between 2006 and 2015.
