Following her collaboration with Busiswa and Oxlade<\/a>, Dunnie wrapped up 2021 with the release of her fourth project, Amazon the EP<\/em>. The project features artists from different walks including Nigeria\u2019s The Cavemen.<\/a> to Kenya\u2019s H_Art the Band and Tanzania\u2019s Darassa.\u201cCollaborating with artists from all over Africa is my favorite thing to do<\/em>\u201d Dunnie says. The project enthralls <\/em>from the alluringly vain \u201cRich Aunty Vibes\u201d, to the daring \u201cYou Don\u2019t Know\u201d and unabashed <\/em>profession of love in \u201cNakupenda\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, she\u2019s collaborated with artists across parts of Africa including Busiswa, Yemi Alade<\/a>, Becca, Niniola<\/a>, Rowlene, Wande Coal<\/a> etc. Her collaboration with Busiswa on \u201cLove Song\u201d culminated in an AFRIMA nomination last year. In April 2021, she produced Shontelle\u2019s comeback single \u201cHouse Party\u201d, <\/em>a reggae number that was minted as a NFT. Recently, Gemini Major connected Dunnie and Amapiano forerunner, Focalistic<\/a> for \u201cEwele<\/a>\u201d. In August, Dunnie was profiled as one of the nine kick-ass women to know in the Nigerian music scene by Global Citizen<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The singer\u2019s career kicked off as an alumnus of The Sarz Academy, alongside producers like P.Priime<\/a>, Tempoe etc. Dunnie has since garnered reverence as not just Nigeria\u2019s leading female producer but one of the few talents being an active artist and producer. In 2019, Dunnie emerged as beneficiary of Mr Eazi\u2019<\/a>s Empawa initiative, through which she released her first ever music video, \u201cFoolish<\/a>\u201d. She was one of the regional judges at Access All Stars singing competition alongside Seyi Shay, Tee-Y Mix, and Kaffy as main judges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dunnie has since become the go-to person for music scoring in Nigeria, having worked with multinationals like Ciroc, Oppo, Kotex, Keystone bank among others. She is currently in partnership with Audio Girl Africa to mentor girls\/women who want to be producers, sound engineers, and DJs. Of this, she says, \u201cmy position as a producer in the Nigerian music industry is peculiar because I know there are other women that will be inspired and want to do it<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
