The passion in his voice is carried out in the music he creates with his producer Lloyd Hinshelwood and writer Alba. His lead single 'Fadin' from his debut project 'It's Your Love' has continued to grow since its release and articulates a topic within the subject of love that many can relate to. The high octane chorus, supplemented by the gritty vocals of Nia and the thumping sounds of the drum pattern on the original, a soulful record from start to finish with distinct valley's and peaks that provide an immersive journey of emotion.
