Live Session With GRAMMY Award-Winning and Diamond Certified Producer FORTHENIGHT

We don’t often get to chop it up with the folks behind the boards as much of the time attention is focused on the personality that’s center stage in front of the mic or camera. Being introduced to the talented people behind the boards of some of the hottest joints on the air and in our playlists is a special opportunity. For this Live Session, I got to talk with Diamond selling and GRAMMY award-winning producer FORTHENIGHT.

Here’s the official line on our subject:

Charles Jr. Ocansey, also known as FORTHENIGHT, is a Diamond Certified, Grammy-winning Canadian-based producer signed to Wondagurl’s label imprint, Wonderchild, a joint-venture with Sony/ATV Music Publishing and Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack Publishing.

FORTHENIGHT first started producing in his parent’s basement at the age of 15, chopping samples from old records and experimenting with unique sounds. In 2018, the producer released his first sample pack, which received praise from Wondagurl and other top producers in the industry. Shortly after, he released another pack which got him introduced to Frank Dukes by his Kingsway team. By creating these distinctive sample packs with his signature “night vibe” sounds, FORTHENIGHT was able to land various major label placements with Bad Bunny, Don Toliver, Dave East, Killy, 88GLAM, D-Block Europe, J Stone and many more.

I got a chance to speak with this rising young lion about his journey, starting his career as a DJ and the craft’s similarities with producing. He also lets us in on the defining moment that made him become a professional producer as well as a bunch of other interesting tidbits. Stay tuned for more from this cat as he’s going to bring us some more amazing work shortly…all top secret for now of course.
