In the world of music, few names carry as much weight as Malik Yusef. An 8-time Grammy-winning songwriter and master collaborator, he has played a vital role in shaping some of modern music’s most iconic projects. Yusef has collaborated with legendary artists such as Beyoncé, Kanye West, The Weeknd, John Legend, Adam Levine, Chance the Rapper, and many others. Now, he is guiding the next generation of talent by teaming up with rising powerhouse Benda World—a songwriter, producer, and branding expert who recently received his first-ever Grammy nomination.

Their collaboration extends beyond just making music; they aim to change the industry. Together, they created Good M.U.S.I.C. Universe Sonic Sinema: Episode 1 – In The Beginning Was The Word, a project that has  earned them a spot on the 2025 Grammy ballot. By blending storytelling with innovative production, they have solidified their place among music’s elite.

For Benda World, this moment signifies more than just a career milestone; it is the culmination of years of relentless effort. His journey began with securing a major record deal in 2006 and includes creating significant events featuring stars like Chris Brown, Trey Songz, and Young Jeezy. He has continually evolved and made a substantial impact on the industry.

Beyond his music career, Benda World is a sought-after branding consultant, assisting celebrities, entrepreneurs, and businesses in refining their public image.

“Working with Malik is like stepping into a creative boot camp led by a legend,” Benda World shares. “He has a unique ability to make every lyric and melody feel historic. Being Grammy-nominated alongside him is truly surreal.”

For Malik Yusef, collaboration has always been at the heart of his success. With a résumé that spans genre-defining albums and culture-shifting moments, he knows talent when he sees it—and Benda World is the real deal.

As the 2025 Grammys come to a close,  one thing is clear: whether or not they took home the trophy, Malik Yusef and Benda World have already won. Their influence is growing, their impact is undeniable, and this is just the beginning.
