What’s the process behind working on a song like?

I get hit by inspiration for a concept, then over the weeks, months, and beyond I keep adding bits to it in my phone’s voice memos until I reach an overwhelming amount of material then transfer the idea to my DAW. I start making the beat, then figure out what vocals I want to add, then give myself a time limit to complete the project.

Tell me about your upcoming music and what inspired you to create it!

The song is inspired by my faith. God gave me the vision to make an uplifting and inspiring afro house record. I sing in my native language. The direct translation of the words I’m saying is “I am with God”, so I to a deeply personal and meaningful message, disgusted in a house best. It releases on May 17.

What are your plans for 2024?

Complete and release my debut EP and play more consistent shows across the country.
