8 years ago Samora and I reconnected in NYC. He was already a sought after keys player, and had all the accolades of a young jazz phenom, fresh out of Julliard.
But Samora knew he had a bigger mission, a voice and a pen. He sent me some songs he’d been working on with
@jackdeboe , and asked if I could help. There was no doubt in me that I needed to support Samora becoming the artist he was meant to be.
That music he sent me back then was VENUS, which is released today across all platforms, almost 8 years later. Great things take time.
As you will hear in this music, he has the magical ability to speak to the raw core of the human experience, in a voice that’s both delicately vulnerable, and daringly powerful.
Samo has become my brother over this journey together. He’s one of the greatest inspirations to me. Always in awe of his integrity, righteousness, hard work, and gratitude in every day life.
Congratulations
@samorapinderhughes and
@jackdeboe and the massive community that made this happen. We’ve come so far, and we’ve got so far to go..
