Mentor Beats is the trading name for internationally acclaimed music producer and audio engineer Amit Bajaj aka Mentor. With more than 15 years experience in the industry, Mentor Beats has established itself as one of the most credible and pioneering names in Urban and Asian music around the world.
Born in Kenya, Mentor grew up in West London and started music learning tabla in the Temple at an early age. He experimented with other musical instruments, drums and percussion as well as DJing and rapping. After gaining an Audio Engineering Diploma at the SAE Institute of Technology, Mentor went on to produce a number of tracks with Super-Producer Rishi Rich on the huge selling Asian remix series Pure Garage I, II and III.
In 2002, he moved to Tanzania, East Africa and set up Poa Records, an independent label which promoted Swahili Hip Hop and R&B. The label signed artists including T.I.D, Zig Zag Kru, Complex (R.I.P) and Big Dogg Posse, as well as working with top East African artists like Lady JD, Mr Nice, Ray C, Suma G, AY and Majizee. Mentor went on to be Nominated Best Producer at the Tanzanian Music Awards 2003, Poa Records artist T.I.D. won Best Artist Category and his album "Sauti Ya Dhahabu" (Produced by Mentor) won Best Album.
In June 2003, Mentor returned to the UK to set up his recording studio in London and has since acquired production, remixing and engineering credits for the likes of Timbaland and Magoo ft Missy Elliot, Craig David, Nitin Sawhney, Jon B, Rishi Rich, Jay Sean, Juggy D and many more. Mentor has also scored TV ad's for McDonalds and Sharwoods, plus title music for TV programs including Nickelodeon's "Control Freaks".
Apart from music production, Mentor Beats has been involved in Training Courses and Workshops in Music Production for various organisations including Point Blank, London School of Sound, BBC Blast and Fitzrovia Youth In Action.
Forming Mentor Kolektiv in 2004, the producer independently released "Mentor Kolektiv Mixtape Vol 1" and produced the band’s critically acclaimed debut album "Broke”, released in November 2005 on 2point9 Records.
Since 2006, Mentor Beats has made headway into the radio industry, presenting and producing shows on BBC Radio 1Xtra and BBC Asian Network.
As well as producing, DJing and promoting events all over the country, the last few years projects included Juggy D's second album and a collaborations with the likes of AG Dolla, Menis and Reggaeton producers, Luny Tunes. 2008 saw the release of "Overdraft" the Mixtape. A collection of Remixes, Refixes and Previews, available exclusively online. It showcased the production skills of Mentor Beats as well as a sneak peek into things to come.
2009 saw Mentor Beats involved in many projects including a world music album with long time collaborator Kartik, single releases such as Mentor & DJ Dips ft Bakshi Billa - "Kurri Canada Di", DJ Pinkz & Mentor ft Harsh - "Money" plus the expansion of Training Courses and Workshops around the UK.
2010 is already looking like a promising year with remixes for Menis and DJ Dips making a huge impact as well as Mentor's Remix for Sugababes hit single "About A Girl" which they performed at the UK Asian Music Awards. The long awaited debut album by Mentor Beats is finally underway and set for release later this year. Watch this space...
