This is the story of FL Studio. Made in 1997 by a young Belgian developer named Didier Dambrin, working for a small company called Image-Line that also built adult video games. That side project became the software that shaped the biggest sounds in the Afro diaspora and modern hip-hop.
Afrobeats. Amapiano. Dancehall. Shatta. Bouyon. Zouk. Kompa. Baile Funk. Gqom. Dembow. Reggaeton. Trap. Drill. All built on the same colorful little software from Belgium.
Rvssian in Jamaica. Ovy on the Drums in Colombia. Kabza De Small and DJ Maphorisa in South Africa. Kooldrink producing for Tyla. DJ K in Brazil. Juls, Sarz and Kel-P pushing Afrobeats worldwide. Soulja Boy. 9th Wonder. Boi-1da. Metro Boomin. WondaGurl at 16 years old on Jay-Z’s Magna Carta.
Different countries. Different sounds. One common tool: FL Studio.
