KeyQaad is an African independent recording label and company based in Lagos, Nigeria, with an endless passion for music, discovery, people, and life. Founded by childhood friends Valentine 'Valo' Ngaji and Marshall Onaemo, the label initially operated under the name "Baller Music" before officially registering as KeyQaad in 2017. Valo and Marshall, who have extensive experience in the music industry, joined forces to establish a platform for timeless music.

KeyQaad has already made a significant impact, signing talented Afrobeats artists, including the sensational Omah Lay in 2019 and the rising star Kaestyle in 2021. These artists have released incredible records and are poised to make a mark globally in the coming years. The label continues to seek exceptional up-and-coming African musicians who possess talent, character, sociability, willingness to learn, and star-power.

Aside from its artist roster, KeyQaad has also launched its own publishing arm, KeyQaad Music Publishing. This growing label has won numerous awards locally and internationally and is determined to rewrite the African story through one song at a time. KeyQaad is becoming a force to be reckoned with in the music industry, not only in Africa but also worldwide.
