Music is in His Soul.
When did you first get into music? I was born and raised in Ghana and music was always an integral part of my family. Growing up around the church, the gospel roots served as a stem to my being, so I always found myself singing music frequently. It wasn’t till the age of 13 when I decided to pursue a path in music. Since then opportunities have landed in my lap, one after the other and I have never looked back. Who or What inspired you to pursue a career in music? Life circumstances and experiences inspired me to pursue a career in music. I always found myself at a very young age gravitating to music that gave me hope. From that, I found myself writing music to make meaning of my own life as I navigate the realities of the world. How would you describe the music that you create? I would describe my music as a reflection of my passion for the human connection and a source of both comfort and empowerment for others. I am inspired by what is real about life, relationships, social justice, diversity, trust, love, doubts, and abuse, which I done in a cloak of deep lyrics and catchy rhythms. How has your music evolved since you first began playing music? When I started the business, I wanted to prove that I was an artist/songwriter that could write to any genre.The flavors of different sounds and genres can be noticed with a quick listen to my “Reflections” EP and “Chosen” album . As my understanding of my artistry has developed, I believe I have found my voice and sound in R&B/Souls and the acoustic singer songwriter lanes and I plan on driving down that road in the years to come. If you were forced to choose only one, which emotion, more than any other drives you to stay in this tough business? Is it joy, anger, desire, passion or pride and why? Love would be the emotion. I love the music I get to write, the canvases I get to shade with my lyrics, and the beauty within the artistic creative process of music. The love for the work from start to finish and the people that come along for the ride and/or jump on board on the journey makes it all fun.
