Who will perform at the Global Citizen Festival, appear in Rolling Stone, and take home $50,000?
Who or what is your musical inspiration?
My musical inspiration comes from a rich blend of cultures and cities that have shaped me—Detroit, Nigeria, Washington DC, and London. The fusion of these experiences fuels my sound, an ever-evolving mix of Afrobeats, soul, and pop. I create music that embodies empowerment, resilience, and transformation, amplifying voices that deserve to be heard. With songs like A’ma Get My Way, I channel self-assurance and ambition, reflecting my determination to uplift women and push African soun
How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?
Performing at the Global Citizen Festival would be a game-changer for my career. It’s not just about standing on a massive stage—it’s about using my voice to amplify messages of justice, empowerment, and change on a global platform. Being part of such a prestigious lineup would solidify my presence in the Afrofusion and international music scene, exposing my sound to a broader audience and connecting with fans who align with my mission.
What would you do with $50,000?
With $50,000, I’d invest in NAYA MUSIC LLC, launching myself and OB1 as the first artists. Funds would cover studio time, production, and marketing to craft a standout sound. I’d secure major performances, including Global Citizen Festival, building global recognition. Strategic distribution and promotion would expand our reach. This isn’t just music—it’s a movement, setting the foundation for future artists and pushing African sounds worldwide.
