NAME: Funmilayo Ngozi (you bring me joy, God’s blessing). REPPIN: Augusta, GA NOTABLE RELEASES: Unconstrained with UK/French Producer Tom Glide “All I Need Is You.” LABEL: Unconstrained Music CURRENTLY WORKING ON: Single, an introduction to the upcoming release, orchestrated to show off vocals and “drive” felt in the instrumentation. SURPRISED ABOUT BEING A PART OF RYZE: I am surprised AND honored to even be in the number. Being an independent artist is work. It is not often that people recognize your efforts. As a Freshman in high school: I wanted to be a part of ANY and EVERYTHING that involved singing. I attended and graduated from North Atlanta School of Performing Arts in Atlanta, Georgia where I studied music for 2 hours daily in addition to rehearsals and traveling as “Atlanta’s Showbiz Kid.” My fondest memory is walking across the street from school to rehearsals and singing Vivaldi’s “Gloria” with orchestra... good times, good times. “IF I COULD ONLY EAT ONE FOOD IT WOULD BE CHOCOLATE COVERED GRAHAM CRACKERS. THEY’RE SIMPLY DIVINE.” INFLUENCED BY: Whitney Houston, Earth Wind and Fire, The Clark Sisters, Leandria Johnson, Donny Hathaway to name a few.
