«There is music in your laughter and in the songs ‘bout the the hereafter; Its abound in the sound of a thunderous applause and in the beat of a pulse or a talking drum. Its in the chirping of a bird and in the strings of a guitar; Its in the rhythm of a dance and in the chorus of a band. Music, is the beat of my heart…»

«Have a Soldier’s soul, make your life your own, how can you win gold when your expectations are low…»?
The words are taken from the title track of H’s debut album ‘A Soldier’s soul’ - an inspirational single about the harsh realities of life and the bitter-sweet emotions that lie ahead for those who dare to dream.
Born on the West African Coast in Jos, Nigeria, H’s influences range from the soulful, folk-rock sounds of Cat Stevens, Seal and Tracy Chapman to the gritty sounds of modern day hip-hop and the unmistakable Afro beat of Fela Kuti.
Armed with the gifts of storytelling, quirky songwriting and a uniquely soulful voice, H’s songs are introspective, organic but interestingly upbeat and relatable.
Clearly wary of boxes and labels that hinder the triumph of the human spirit over the adversities of life, traces of H’s life journey thus far, can be found in his songs.
In his own words «…if the cards you’re dealt are unfair, don’t blame it all on fate, you can change what’s been laid, have a Soldier’s soul…
One has a feeling this artist will march on and will be soaring in no time.
