"Det finns en smittande innerlighet rakt igenom, en värme hos Somi som kommer att stanna kvar länge"
(Lira)
"Somis röst är mycket omfångsrik och nyanserad"
(Motala Tidning/Nerikes Allehanda/Vadstena Tidning)
Born in Illinois to East African parents, Somi and her six siblings began to shuffle through the life of a diplomat scientist-come-university professor’s family. Thus exposing Somi to stories and music from all over the world. Her lyrically and musically magnificent new album Red Soil In My Eyes is a soulful celebration of her Rwandese and Ugandan heritage that fantastically speaks of returning Home. Well, she has found Home… in her music. “Singing has been a journey of healing,” says the young singer/songwriter, and that is the reason she refers to it as Holistic New African Soul-Jazz. “I want my music to put people in a place of introspective bliss and inspiration. The same place I am when I write. I want people to be touched by music and never be afraid to fully embrace who they are.” Thus, Somi’s music relentlessly evokes all that is pure, honest, and true. Listening to her exhale a belly full of stories on life, love, and liberation, one is involuntarily reminded of their own private moments of passion. Throughout Somi’s songwriting, her voice soars over, through, and in between nuances of an incomparable musicianship that organically fuses jazz, classic soul, African folk, and rare urban grooves.
