About
April Olatunji is a singer/songwriter living in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Soulful melodies, jazzy chords and progressive arrangements, have been dominant in her style. Someone wisely said that musicians are pop philosophers, this is definitely so in regards to Aprils lyrical poetry.
Stirred by the message in Gospel and Soul music she longed to share what she has learnt through life, prompting others to ask the deeper questions about the nature of reality.
Her growing faith, as represented by vocalist such as Lisa McClendon, Rachel Ferrel and L’eandria Johnson has grown in increasing measure, only matched by her development as a skilled songwriter.
This new direction in music gave birth to her debut album ‘First Steps’, which she has just finished recording, some tracks are still in post editing
In this album April sings of the love and wholeness she has in her heart since walking in ‘The way’, it also challenges the listener to look inwards at the condition of the human soul. Mellow sounds and modern beats produce an almost acoustic sounding album yet containing a fuller presence. Instruments include, electric piano, trumpet, cajon, upright electric bass and of course harmonized vocals.
This ‘First Step’ is just the beginning of her musical journey. She wants her music to be readily available to spread a message of harmony and hope in troubled times. It is Feel good music with a message. Stay tuned for the next step in her musical career.
