Saszy Afroshii Steps Into the Spotlight with Debut Single “Ready or Not” Featuring Ria Sean

Award-winning Nigerian producer Saszy Afroshii is set to make her debut as a recording artist with the release of her first single, “Ready or Not” featuring Ria Sean, arriving November 12, 2025, via The Orchard.

Known for her work with some of Africa’s biggest names including Wizkid, Tiwa Savage, and Qing Madi, Saszy’s debut marks a defining moment in her career — and in the broader African music landscape — as she becomes one of the first Nigerian female producers to release a front-facing project under her own name.

“Ready or Not” blends Afro-fusion and pop, characterised by playful energy, bold rhythm, and a confident tone that celebrates the rise of fearless African women in music. The record captures Saszy’s trademark production style — cinematic, emotive, and layered with cultural richness — while introducing her as a creative voice ready to take centre stage.

Priscilla Saszy Duru, professionally known as Saszy Afroshii, has spent the last decade shaping Afro-fusion’s evolving soundscape with her immersive beats and cross-continental collaborations. Since 2017, her distinctive tag, “Activate Saszy,” has become synonymous with polished, boundary-pushing production.

Her résumé spans work with top African and global artists including Fave, Taves, Runtown, Major AJ, Rukmani, Kizz Daniel, Kanika Kapoor (India), Pongo (Portugal), MC Lan (Brazil), Lala Ice (France), Mosty (Ivory Coast), and Squidji (France) — reflecting her growing global influence.

Saszy’s accomplishments extend beyond the studio. She has been recognised as Female Producer of the Year at The Beatz Awards (2023 and 2024) and featured in international campaigns such as Spotify EQUAL, #CreatedByWomen, Smirnoff Nigeria’s Billboard Campaign, and YouTube Music & Alicia Keys’ She Is Music initiative. Her profile continues to rise as she collaborates with leading African artists, including Gyakie and Tems, while her production credits have amassed millions of streams — Fave’s “Mr Man” (100M+ streams) and Taves’ “Apology” (5M+ streams) among them.

With “Ready or Not,” Saszy Afroshii redefines the role of the African producer — stepping out from behind the console to stand in the spotlight. The single marks a bold new chapter for one of the continent’s most visionary creators, bridging artistry, innovation, and empowerment.
