Julian Nicco-Annan, known by his stage name Juls<\/a>, has a way with serendipity. Whether it\u2019s his breakout collaboration with the then unknown Mr Eazi<\/a>, or his unlikely studio premier with hiplife producer Panji Anoff, Juls skillfully places himself in the right place at the right time. However, his talent as a producer and collaborator is even more formidable. As Juls reminds me, \u201cthe sound that I had with Eazi, I created that<\/em>.\u201d Banku, Mr Eazi\u2019s signature blend iconified in the hit \u201cBankulize\u201d from 2014, which Juls remixed and added friend and rapper Pappy Kojo, propelled Eazi into a new class of afro fusion and made Juls one of those rare producers who are able to create a sound of their own. \u201cThat was a blend that tapped into r&b to some extent, elements of afro, but it was very minimalistic. So it was easy on the ear for people who were not used to the typical African sound<\/em>,\u201d Juls says of Banku. However, he adds, \u201cI think I left that Banku sound a long time ago, now it\u2019s just about spiritual music and vibes, and making people feel good as well.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
