Can you tell us about your new track, ‘Married To The Beat’ and the background, and inspirations behind it?
I made this track with an Afro Carribean inspiration. I used to listen to a lot of funky disco and afrobeat music and all the time I had in mind, a funky bass sound and an afro melody. So, I decided to go to the Studio and I dropped the bass and melody with a friend musician. Then, singer/ songwriter Lilo came to the studio, heard the demo, got in the vibe and started singing on it. Kaspy a guitar player came and delivered the riff and ‘Married to the Beat’ was born.
