Kehinde Alabi

Kehinde Alabi, known professionally as Louddaaa, 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, "All I Want" by Simi, "Maria" by Magixx, and "Anything" and "10 Kilo" by Davido. He won the Afro Soul Producer of the Year at the 2023 Beatz Awards. In 2025, he was named among the "Hottest African Producers Right Now" by OkayAfrica.

Early life 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.

Career 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. 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.
