Sola, a Nigerian-American Afro-fusion singer, and songwriter, makes her official debut into the music scene with her new single, ‘Hustle.’
Kicking off her music path, Sola starts firmly with ‘Hustle’ a sensual Afro-RnB track on which she delivers beautifully emphasizing the necessity of devotion on the path to success. One that demands hard work or “the hustle”.
‘Hustle’ embodies a fusion of Afro-infused rhythms and R&B elements. It serves as a lyrical tribute to the energetic rhythm of our daily grind, capturing the essence of our hustle and bustle.
Inspired by the likes of Sade Adu, Fela, and Michael Jackson, having grown up listening to them, Sola carves her path as an artist. The 21-year-old singer seamlessly blends soul, Afro, pop, and RnB to create a unique sound that conveys a spontaneous and heartfelt message.
Her multicultural background serves as a canvas for her musical artistry, on which she paints a picture of life, pitching her tent and hoisting her sails to greatness.
Sola, born Busola Oluchi Gabrielle Akerele, stands as a beacon among singer-songwriters. Hailing from Ogun state and raised in Lagos, her vocal artistic expression has been evident since childhood.
