About
A music project that tells a story in three ways — songs, an animated short film, and a website you can walk through. Each song is a chapter. Together they show what it feels like to lose yourself and find yourself again.
Impact
Independent artists from Africa rarely get to make work this ambitious. This project proves it’s possible — and creates a new model for how musicians release work, combining music, animation, and immersive tech into one experience.
Progress
The EP is mostly complete. The full film treatment is written. The visual world and animation direction are fully mapped. Funding completes production and brings it to the world.
Team
I conceived, wrote, and directed this entire project. The story is mine. The visual language is mine. I have been building this world for months and I know exactly what it needs to become.
