IAMNOBODI

IAMNOBODI is the stage name of Dede Ademabua, a German producer and DJ whose work sits at the intersection of abstract beats, neo R&B, and electronic music. Based in Berlin and originally from Düsseldorf, he emerged in the early 2010s with a sound that draws on hip-hop’s rhythmic language while leaning into jazz harmony, house-derived groove, and a collage-like approach to electronic production.

Ademabua began making music as a teenager, initially focusing on emceeing before moving toward production. His first official project, Elevated, was released in October 2013 through Soulection, a platform associated with forward-leaning beat music and contemporary R&B. He followed it with Snapshots from Berlin, released in April 2014 via Jakarta Records, a label known for bridging hip-hop and electronic scenes. These early releases helped define IAMNOBODI’s identity as a producer who builds tracks from textured drums, melodic fragments, and atmospheric synth work, often blurring the line between instrumental beat tapes and song-oriented material.

Alongside original productions, IAMNOBODI has also been active in remixing, applying his rhythmic sensibility and electronic palette to reworks that retain the core of a song while shifting its mood and movement. His influences are frequently described in broad terms—jazz, house, hip-hop, and electronic music—and his catalog reflects that range, moving between head-nod beats, club-ready patterns, and more vaporous, twitchy sound design.

IAMNOBODI’s credits include work with a wide set of artists across rap and contemporary soul, including Nipsey Hussle, G-Eazy, Jay Prince, Ego Ella May, and Little Simz. That collaborative thread places him in a network of vocalists and rappers who favor modern, beat-driven production with an ear for melody and space. While his output spans multiple releases and platforms, his profile is anchored by the early projects that introduced him as a Soulection-affiliated producer and by ongoing work that continues to connect electronic beat-making with R&B and hip-hop songwriting.
