Isebiama Set To Release First Official Single
Isebiamais an urban gospel singer, songwriter and guitarist who delivers his music in eclectic fashion. His music is a rich mix of urban soul and soft acoustic rock. He is energetic and passionate about his music and is a natural at delivering inspiring, edifying and fresh sounds.
A graduate of the MUSON diploma school of Music through a scholarship from the MTN Foundation, Isebiama has interests in all movements that will make Nigeria, Africa and the World a united place full of people with integrity, honesty and love as their core values.
His debut single “Again” (dated for release on 30th June 2012) does a great job at containing this story in a 4minute record. The song with its simple chord progression, complex guitar vamp, 90′s hip-hop drum kit, harmonica and crude garage rehearsal feel, seems to speak a different story in every other phrase, but all headed in one direction:
“Life is a lot easier than we all make it appear. Forget its worries & burdens, Love your neighbor with an open mind” a message well needed in today’s hard to live in world.
ENJOY A FRESH SOUND!!!
