SOMI
New York's progressive Neo-Soul Movement has been gracefully taken to a
next level by a young singer/songwriter sensation. Her angelic voice
and hypnotizing grooves are wrapped up in the simple yet sweet sound of
her name…somi. Her soulful vibrations demand a dance with your mind,
body, spirit, and soul. Her mature yet youthful disposition manifests
a poise of consciousness and the sensibility to reach all peoples.
somi's lyrics grapple with some of the most contemporary issues of
today's society. From her percussion-driven "AIDS Lullaby", a piece
inspired by her own grassroots involvement with East African AIDS
orphans, to the compassionate "Forgotten Lands" written in remembrance
of the genocide victims of her homeland Rwanda. While somi is often
praised for her insight on social issues, her sensuous grooves of love
can only leave the audience mesmerized and searching for more. Her
sweet lyrics and delectable incantations brew up an irresistible and
insightful recipe for matters of the heart
A lyricist in the anti-police brutality project entitled "Hip-Hop for
Respect" somi's smooth vocals were also heard on the underground single
"41 Shots" written in remembrance of Amadou Diallo. somi's music has
been feature on radio stations in New York as well as internationally
in Africa and Europe.
"sunshine is truth. my voice is my sunshine. my truth is my voice." -
