Raphael

I am a music producer, musician, and music educator based in Lagos, Nigeria, with over 3 years of professional experience working in the music industry. My experience covers music production, audio recording, music arrangement, songwriting, music analysis, keyboard/piano, guitar, and music education.

I work primarily with contemporary music, including Afrobeats and R&B, and have practical experience using digital audio workstations such as FL Studio for composition, sound selection, MIDI programming, recording, editing, mixing, and mastering.

I also have experience teaching music production, piano, guitar, and related musical concepts to students of different skill levels. My teaching approach involves breaking complex musical and technical concepts into clear, practical steps that learners can understand and apply.

I am particularly interested in contributing my practical knowledge of music, audio, creativity, education, and digital music technology to AI evaluation, training, data annotation, expert review, and other projects requiring domain-specific knowledge.
