Slimbo, is a gifted Ghanaian Record Producer, mixing engineer/Musician, and Song writer, who has won the hearts of many and worked with legendaries across Ghana and beyond. His sound is mostly identified with a deep voice tag saying “SlimmmBooo!” in his beats.
At age five, Slimbo gained attention in the music world with the help of his father who has
played a very influential role in his musical career.
Slimbo was a keyboardist at church and played for bands before he switched into music production full-time. The church synthesizer had a ‘copy to diskette’ function, and allowed sequencing of up to five tracks. So, he would take it to a recording studio and program it with a computer software with the help of the studio engineer, and then record his songs to it.
Slimbo managed to build a clientele of rappers from school who wanted to jump on his beats when they heard his stuff along the line. He started a business of recording and selling beats to his mates while he was in high school. As time went on, His passion for production grew deeper and he felt the need to program beats himself. He started out by collecting musical softwares, bought a Pentium 1 computer from a friend and started producing for people from home, while learning and perfecting how to manipulate sounds with softwares as well as programming and mixing in the process. Before He realized, He was making a buzz in his neighborhood and getting local radio interviews until he had his first breakthrough.
