    Dreamily delving into Afro-Fusion with his incredible debut single, “SZA 4 NGAZ”, is OTH€LLO. He has a brilliant vocal talent delving into an R&B style mixed with Afropop that truly brings something new and unique to the table. As far as debut singles go, OTH€LLO has released an unforgettable track!

    OTH€LLO is a captivating artist whose music journey began in Montreal, where the sounds of Congolese gospel and soukous tunes filled his home thanks to his immigrant parents. In grade 8, he took a daring leap by pretending to read music and play the drums to get into a music class, a venture that didn’t go as planned but ignited his passion for performance. Undeterred, he later joined a music theatre class in conservative Edmonton, Alberta, performing in musicals before embarking on a busking adventure across Canada. Homeless at times, he strummed his guitar or played to a beat track in the streets and subways. Along the way, he found his voice as the sole tenor in a local Congolese church choir while honing his artistic skills in Toronto. Finally, in 2019, he made his lifelong dream come true by moving to NYC, where he connected with Lounge Studios, known for hosting Solange Knowles’ latest projects. Now, with relentless hustle and determination, OTH€LLO is ready to live his music dream and make an indelible mark on the industry.

    Written by OTH€LLO, himself, “SZA 4 NGAZ” sees him borrow an instrumental beat from BeatsbyJonas, and deliver vocally bringing an undeniable rap flow as he combines hip-hop with ambient R&B with this awesome Afro-Fusion number. Kicking the track off with a slow indie acoustic guitar rhythm, this track is backed by ethereal dreamy beats as OTH€LLO jumps in with relaxed lyrics full of reminiscent themes. The track evolves bringing a dynamic versatile hip-hop energy whilst sticking to the relaxed melody.

    Talking about the track, OTH€LLO said: “This song is an exploration of how growing my dreads again after cutting my first set was like falling again. It sonically narrates the process of self-love and self-acceptance through a fiercely Afrocentric and sexual perspective.”
