Nigerian record producer and musician Sarz has spoken candidly about how pride and excessive confidence affected his early relationships within the music industry.
The award-winning producer revealed that he once considered himself superior to many of his colleagues, a mindset that limited his willingness to collaborate with others.
Sarz Reflects on Early Career Attitude
Speaking during an interview with The Fadar, the 37-year-old admitted he was “very hot-headed” when he began making music professionally.
According to Sarz, he was constantly trying to prove himself and believed he was ahead of everyone else in the industry at the time.
“When I started making music, I was very hot-headed. I really wanted to impress everybody,” he said.
“I just thought I was the best thing to exist in music.”
Experience Changed Sarz’s Perspective
However, the producer explained that experience and growth eventually changed his outlook.
He said he later realised that learning never stops in music and that no single person knows everything about the craft.
That understanding, according to him, helped him become more open-minded and willing to work with different people across the industry.
Openness to Learn From New Artists
Sarz added that he now values collaboration and is prepared to learn from anyone, including newcomers in the entertainment space.
“But now I understand that I don’t know it all,” he explained.
“I’m always willing to learn from anyone—even someone that just started yesterday.”
The producer’s comments have sparked reactions online, with many fans praising his honesty and personal growth.
Sarz’s Influence in Nigerian Music
Over the years, Sarz has built a reputation as one of Nigeria’s most respected music producers.
He has worked with several leading Afrobeats stars and contributed to some of the genre’s biggest records.
His openness about personal development and humility has also added to conversations around growth and longevity within the Nigerian entertainment industry.
