Dara Bornstar is an Afro-fusion artist, rapper, and singer whose music reflects personal growth, cultural depth, and a voice shaped by real-life experience. Originally from a small village in Ekiti State, Nigeria, he grew up on the sounds of local music, especially Fuji, long before discovering foreign genres. His journey into music began after relocating to Ondo State, where he encountered new cultures, languages, and rhythms. It was there he first heard Dagrin, a moment that transformed his path from aspiring Fuji or gospel artist to both a rapper and a singer. Inspired by legends like Dagrin, Olamide, Wizkid, 9ice, and Timaya, Dara began carving out a sound uniquely his: a fusion of Afrobeat, street sounds, and soulful storytelling. Most of his songs draw from personal stories and the realities around him, with lyrics that carry both vulnerability and strength. In 2017, he won the OSMA award for Best Achievement in Vocals, a milestone that affirmed his growing voice in the Nigerian music scene. Listeners can expect feel-good music that resonates, uplifts, and reflects the journey of someone who’s lived, learned, and continues to evolve through sound.
Gentle Mix, auch bekannt als Shane, ist ein facettenreicher Musiker, dessen Repertoire von RnB, Soul und Funk über Pop bis hin zu deutschem Rap und Schweizerdeutschen Liedern reicht. Seine Musik umfasst auch meditative Klänge, die zur Entspannung einladen. Mit Tracks wie "Tell me why" und "Korsika" aus seinem Album "Closer Views" konnte Gentle Mix bereits in mehreren Radiostationen gehört werden. Derzeit arbeitet er an neuen Songs, die mit einem frischen und einzigartigen Sound überraschen. Darüber hinaus veröffentlichte Shane 2024 sein Debütbuch "Das Leuchten des Waldes" unter dem Pseudonym Luc Volandores, welches tiefgreifende Einblicke in seine persönliche Geschichte bietet. Das Buch ist ab sofort in deiner Buchhandlung verfügbar.
