At just 25 years old, Eric has already walked a unique
path—one that reflects resilience, creativity, and a deep-rooted passion for
music cultivated from a young age. His journey from playing the piano in church
to producing music in his very own studio is a true testament to hard work,
faith, and self-belief.
From Worship to Waves: The Early Days
Born on May 2, 2000, in Kiyovu Cell, Eric grew up in an
environment where community and music intertwined. As a child and teenager, he
served in his local church worship team as both a singer and pianist. These
early musical roots gave him a solid foundation in sound, rhythm, and harmony.
However, his journey into music production wasn’t
immediate. After completing secondary school during the COVID-19 pandemic in
2020, Eric didn’t initially pursue a career in the arts. Yet, the musical fire
within him was undeniable. Inspired by the worship experiences of his youth and
encouraged by his ability to create, he began experimenting with beats and
melodies.
Stepping into Music Production
In 2022, Eric took a bold step forward—he started
teaching himself music production. Using online resources, particularly YouTube
tutorials, he began to understand the technical and creative aspects of
beat-making, mixing, and sound engineering. With no formal training, his
learning was fueled by passion, long hours, and a growing belief in his
artistic potential.
“I just believed I could do it,” he says,
reflecting on those formative days. “I had the musical background, and I
knew that with time and effort, I could build something.”
Facing Setbacks and Building HIGH SOUND REC
Like many aspiring creatives, Eric faced significant
hurdles. In 2023, he found himself unemployed, lacking access to a professional
studio or artists to collaborate with. But rather than give up, he turned
adversity into opportunity. Determined to create a space of his own, he began
working to raise funds and invest in building a music production studio.
By early 2024, his dream came to life with the birth of HIGH
SOUND REC, a fully functional recording studio dedicated to nurturing new
sounds and supporting artists. Since then, Eric has been steadily developing
his brand and refining his craft, producing music that continues to improve
with every project.
Emerging Projects and Sound Identity
Although some of his early tracks may not have made big
waves, Eric’s recent work has begun to attract attention. Songs like "Woman"
by Bonibaku, "Byabintu", and "Chanella" by Fly Twin
showcase his evolving talent. These projects—some already released, others
still in the pipeline—represent a shift in quality and vision, as De Turn Up
aims to shape a signature sound grounded in Afrobeat, R&B, and modern
African rhythms.
He also expresses interest in working with more
established artists, including the popular Kenysol, as part of his vision to
grow his network and broaden his creative influence in the music scene.
A Vision Beyond the Beat
De Turn Up is more than just a producer—he’s a dreamer
with a clear goal: to create a space where young Rwandan artists can thrive,
innovate, and feel heard. Through HIGH SOUND REC, he’s committed to empowering
musicians who might otherwise lack access to professional production resources.
His story is still being written, but it already offers
inspiration. From humble beginnings to establishing a personal studio, from
worship music to radio-ready tracks, RUDASINGWA Eric is quietly becoming one of
the most promising producers in Rwanda’s growing creative landscape.
And this is just the beginning.
