Journey
Somadina Onuoha, born on March 22, 2000, is a Nigerian singer-songwriter whose compelling blend of Afrohouse, kwaito, Afropop, and alt-soul captures the dynamic and evolving landscape of African music. Embarking on her musical journey with the raw and emotional single 'IHY (I Hate You)', Somadina's early work resonated deeply with themes of heartbreak and personal growth. Her poignant exploration of such themes continued with the 2020 project 'Five Stages', a reflective collection mirroring the emotional stages of loss. Tracks like 'Lay Low' showcased her evolving lyrical prowess, turning personal introspection into poetical narratives that resonate widely.
Her evolution was markedly apparent in 2022 with the release of 'Heart of the Heavenly Undeniable'. This project vividly encapsulates themes of identity and self-worth, a transformative journey from vulnerability to empathetic empowerment. Singing predominantly in English with occasional Igbo influences, Somadina's lyrical themes and sonic fusion serve not only as documentation of personal growth but also as a broader commentary on the structures of identity and freedom. In doing so, she finds herself at the vanguard of Africa's alt-music renaissance, a testament to her growing prominence in the global music scene.
