When it comes to crafting timeless records for the most powerful voices in R&B, few producers stand as tall as Bongo ByTheWay. The three-time Grammy Award–winning, multi-platinum hitmaker has become a trusted architect of sound for women who lead, inspire, and redefine modern soul.
From H.E.R. to Mary J. Blige, Halle Bailey, Ari Lennox, Jessie Reyez to Jazmine Sullivan, Bongo has built a sonic legacy rooted in empowerment and emotion. His ability to merge vulnerability with strength, melody and meaning has made him the go-to collaborator for artists who demand depth in every note.
Whether it’s the soulful grit of “Smoke” with Ari Lennox, or the honesty pulsing through “Just Like That” and “Shut up” with Jessie Reyez, Bongo’s touch is unmistakable. His production uplifts women’s voices without overpowering them blending musicality, groove, and intention into every sound.
Now based in Los Angeles, the Nigerian-born musician continues to push the boundaries of what R&B can feel like. With new collaborations this season with Summer Walker and Mariah Carey, Bongo is closing out the year by doing what he does best, amplifying the power of women through sound.
Bongo ByTheWay isn’t just behind the boards he’s behind the movement. Stay connected with Bongo HERE on Instagram.
