A Musical Odyssey Blending Cultures and Rhythms
Hey there, music enthusiasts and fellow journeyers! I’m thrilled to take you behind the scenes of my latest musical endeavor, Crossbeat Harmony. Additionally, get ready to embark on a sonic voyage that weaves together 25 years of musical exploration, merging Western beats with the vibrant rhythms of Africa.
The Birth of Crossbeat Harmony
Crossbeat Harmony isn’t just a song; it’s a heartfelt convergence of my Ethiopian roots and my love for Western melodies. Born in the heart of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, my musical journey began with the enchanting sounds of my cultural heritage. Also, it was this rich tapestry of Ethiopian music that ignited my passion for creating a bridge between cultures through music.
From London to Crossbeat Harmony
Fast forward to the 90s in London, where I found myself performing covers with the Yared band. Furthermore, the city’s pulse infused new energy into my music, and encounters with legendary Ethiopian artists like Tilahun Gessese and Mehmood Ahmed fueled my determination to forge my unique musical path.
The Breakthrough EP and Beyond
The pivotal moment arrived in 2010 with the creation of the Breakthrough EP, produced by the incredible Paul Miles. Also, tracks from this EP found their way onto online radios, resonating with audiences and marking a turning point in my musical journey.
Crossbeat Harmony: The Melodic Alchemy
This latest creation, Crossbeat Harmony, encapsulates the essence of my musical evolution. Additionally, it’s a symphony that blends the vibrant beats of Africa with the soulful undertones of Western melodies, aiming to evoke emotions and bridge cultural gaps through the universal language of music.
