Its been a while since I wrote and recorded my first album “Secret Side” and whilst there have been plenty of collaborations in the past couple of years; they just fell short of representing who I really am.
Between 2012 and 2013 my affirmation was simple;
I have a vision of myself that only I can begin to manifest
Inspired by World Music, 80’s and 90’s RnB and HipHop, which was the soundtrack of my youth, and Traditional African Dance from all over the continent. I embarked on another jam-packed journey with music and dance as my mode of transport/vehicle,
With a newfound and ever growing inspiration, deepened relationships with myself and those around me and an unshakeable assurance in my purpose, I moved forward with the project of my dreams – fusing my African dance with my Soul music! Once I sat down to create, the music and lyrics poured out of me like an uncontrollable fountain and I was left relieved and drenched!
2013 marked a shift in attitude and focus for me, was it because I turned 30? Was it because I was dancing more? Was it because of my children turning a whole year older!?!?
All I know is that when I looked around me at the friends, family and musicians in my life, I felt a huge surge of pride and positive energy, like anything is possible.
My new music is overflowing with the same excitement and passion that I have for dance, song and life, highlighting identity, empowerment, sensuality and purpose and the result of this can be heard in 2014!
Witness the Manifestation!!! X
