Meet Dekumzy aka Derek Osonwa! Ordior protecting his rights!

18th Aug 2020

Derek Osonwa, professionally known as Dekumzy, is a Nigerian record producer with many talents beyond just that! He’s also a musician, a composer, a pianist, and a songwriter. His first major production was the album of the Duo “Resonance” titled “Chinweike” in 2006. Since then he has gone forth to work with the likes of Mr. Raw, Flavour N’abania, Bracket, Dr. Alban, Charly Boy among others. He’s been taking the world by storm in his own way, and Spotify is loving him for it in the same way as we are! And with streaming services like Spotify, as well as the rest of the internet’s unpredictability, there are always a few risks, such as lost royalties. Luckily, Ordior is happy to report that Dekumzy’s catalogue is under our protection. Now, any lost or unclaimed royalties that Dekumzy would have otherwise missed out on, are going straight into the deserving hands of the artist and all others who helped bring them to life. We’re here to help ensure that Dekumzy’s business remains sustainable, and a good thing too – we want him to keep creating, and give as much as he can! Just take a listen to see why!

At the time of writing, his flagship song is unquestionably “Who Get That Thing”. With tens of thousands of plays across both Youtube and Spotify, this track has united tons of listeners across the internet and driven Dekumzy’s following that much further along! But that’s just one part of his library – his tunes run deep, both in volume and into your soul! You can feel them!


But with being a producer comes all sorts of other amazing milestones aside from just singing! His career led him to produce the theme song for the Nollywood Movie “A Million Tears” titled “Treasure” featuring Kate Henshaw. Other highs from his journey include the production of the musical collaboration between Dr. Alban and Charly Boy on the remix of “Carolina” in 2009, as well as the production of 8 tracks from the second album of Bracket “Cupid Stories” in 2011. He’s done far more than just this handful, though, so be sure to check out his social media links to find out more, and we’ll see you there!
