\u201cOver the last few years I\u2019ve been experimenting with African sounds and samples and trying to figure out a way to tell my story while referencing my culture. It\u2019s been a process of learning that less is sometimes more, and is still a work in progress.<\/p>\n
This EP is almost an intro into a new world of music that I\u2019ve been surrounding myself with away from the public. My next few projects will aim to complete that picture.\u201d
