Nectar EP with Strategy out 2nd Dec
Granddaughter of Ghanian giant and jazz legend George Lee Larnyoh who joined forces with Bob Marley and Louis Armstrong, Sahala’s first taste of being in music was for a New Zealand hip-hop collective where she resided, before relocating to join the Mancunian community and to study music.
She began collaborating with renowned MC Strategy when Sahala returned to Manchester from New Zealand (where she first heard Strategy’s global hit “Marka” with Dub Phizix & Skeptical). “I saw Strategy at an event and I actually messaged him saying I’d love to collaborate, and he messaged back saying he was a fan of my voice after hearing me on Bloc2Bloc. Our spirits got to work and here we are”, Sahala explains.
“Nectar EP” (Tru Thoughts) is a record that fuses Sahala’s versatile vocals with the more introspective spectrum of bass music (courtesy of Strategy’s production). Talking about the concept of the EP she adds: “Nectar is the sweet substance from flowers that attracts bees and insects to help pollinate and with this EP I wanted to showcase a sweetness from my soul, sweet soul food for everyone to absorb and in essence pollinate their own creativity, whether it inspires their spark of creativity or awakens them spiritually. Nectar (in Greek and Roman mythology) is the drink of the Gods.”
