Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources. This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: Mostly based on unreliable sources. I can't find a reason to believe this and this are not PR attempts. This is mostly non-WP:INDEPENDENT and promotional too. I can't find any reason to rely on any of the other cited sources; they lack editorial oversight and cannot be used to establish notability. The award won is not significant enough either.

Kehinde Alabi (born 28 February 1991), known professionally as Louddaaa,[1] is a Nigerian record producer, songwriter, and sound engineer. He is best known for his production work on Ayra Starr's breakout single "Away", featured on her self-titled debut EP.
Louddaaa has worked with several prominent Nigerian artists, producing tracks such as "Last Heartbreak Song" and "Orun" by Ayra Starr,[2][3] "All I Want" by Simi, "Maria" by Magixx, and "Anything" and "10 Kilo" by Davido.[4] He won the Afro Soul Producer of the Year at the 2023 Beatz Awards.[5] In 2025, he was named among the "Hottest African Producers Right Now" by OkayAfrica.[6]
Early life
[edit]Louddaaa was born in Lagos, Nigeria, and is originally from Ekiti State. During his university education, he was introduced to music production software by a roommate. His interest in music production deepened during his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) year, when he began to focus more seriously on sound engineering.[7][8]
Career
[edit]Louddaaa joined Mavin Records as a sound engineer after a series of unsuccessful attempts to enter the industry. While primarily responsible for engineering recording sessions, he began producing instrumentals during off-hours. One of his beats was selected by Mavin CEO Don Jazzy, who encouraged Ayra Starr to record over it. The track became "Away", which served as Starr’s breakthrough single.[3][8][9] Following the success of "Away", Louddaaa contributed to Ayra Starr’s subsequent albums, including 19 & Dangerous and The Year I Turned 21. He has since expanded his collaborations across the Nigerian music industry, working with artists such as: Black Sherif, Tion Wayne, and ArrDee.
