Une chanson R&B musicalement métissée à la sauce pop urbaine dotée d'une qualité de production irréprochable. L'approche vocale masculine empreinte de sensualité insuffle une ambiance feutrée à ce morceau aux racines ancrés dans les sonorités traditionnelles africaines. 〰️ An R&B song musically mixed with urban pop with impeccable production quality. The male vocal approach imbued with sensuality infuses a hushed atmosphere to this track with roots in traditional African sounds.

Afronation Waves

Born in the United States with Nigerian roots, singer, songwriter and producer Michael O. (Michael Odokara-Okigbo) is releasing his newest single “Japa,” which means “to flee” in Yoruba (a language in Nigeria) slang, in reference to the many Africans being forced to seek a better life in the western world. The track serves as a unifying anthem, encouraging people of all backgrounds to return and tap into their ancestral lineage. 
Co-Produced by Harvey Mason Jr., the CEO of the Academy (Grammy Awards), JAPA is the story of survival and a story of the foundation and creation of America.
“Japa” is the lead single on Michael O.’s upcoming EP, to be released in 2023. 
With this same mission of solidarity in mind, Michael O. also recently created, and is the founder of the first African language learning app, NKENNE. Winner of the 2022 Gorham Savings Bank’s Emerging Business Awards, and with over 7000 users and growing, NKENNE was developed to create an avenues for her he Global African Diaspora to connect to their roots through language.

“Japa” and NKENNE were made possible by the Recording Academy’s MusiCares foundation. Michael O. received a grant from MusiCares in 2020 as part of their COVID-19 relief program, which allowed Michael O. to use his passion for connecting people through music and technology to jumpstart this app and his upcoming EP.
Along with Harvey Mason Jr. and The Recording Academy’s most recent initiative to create more visibility for the Afrobeats movement in the United States, we believe Michael’s story can inspire people to think outside the box in order to create avenues of connection and elevation, via music and tech.
