Exploring themes of her rich African heritage, the history including heart wrenching record of Igbo Landing of 1803, the power of community, hard work, grace and faith, the first single from her latest debut instrumental and vocal album titled “The Landing (1803)” was released in January 2023 and has received rave reviews.
Starting off with a simple arpeggiated opening and growing into a strong harmonic and rhythmic blend to commemorate black heroes of Igbo history - a story of true, heart-wrenching demonstration of courage and resistance to slavery as captured free men took control of the slave ship, drowned their captors before proceeding to drown themselves.
The production of this Debut Album was supported by the Calgary Arts Development Authority

DEBUT ALBUM: Ije-Awele
“The very first Ije Live experience was both an experiment and an experience. Held at the Central Library, Downtown Calgary inside the Patricia Wheelan Hall, this experiment offered me the opportunity to test out the compositions with my audience and go back to refine the materials as well as write more. After this, came more opportunities to perform the new compositions including the Bell Live Series at the King Eddy and the Canadian Jazz Festival at the Ironwood Stage. With funding from the Calgary Arts Development,and then the recording came the Live Music Experience of Ije, first at rhe Studio Bell (National Music Centre) and finally, at the Bella Concert Hall, all in Canada. Going from just writing and performing live, I wanted to store these works for broader access and enjoyment of this art project.
The album will be global, and the live music experience will be local at first and then, made available for more listeners.
I hope you find this inspiring.”
