What do the themes of Nature and Culture mean to you?

IREPLAYS

Nature and Culture are intertwined forces that shape our lives. Nature is the source of life’s rhythms, while Culture is the expression of our creativity and values. My music aims to bridge these worlds, reflecting natural beauty and celebrating cultural heritage.

If you could change one thing in the world right now, what would it be? Why?

I would cultivate greater empathy and understanding among people to break down barriers and promote unity. Music, which transcends language and cultural differences, is my tool to inspire compassion and connection.

Your dream collaborations?

IREPLAYS

I dream of collaborating with artists like Richard Bona, Beautiful Nubia, and producers like Cobhams Asuquo, Benjamin and Jon-John Robinson who push creative boundaries and honor cultural roots. These partnerships would allow me to explore new dimensions in my music.

How can we change the world?

IREPLAYS

We can change the world through collaboration and collective action. By pooling our talents and working towards shared goals, we can address global challenges. As an artist, I believe music can inspire and mobilize people for positive change.
