Nhojj
(New York - USA)
Nhojj est un de ces artistes au talent vraiment incontestable. Son univers est résolument original !! Souvent comparé aux plus grands, Bob Marley, Prince, Marvin Gaye, Tracey Chapman, Maxwell, Sade, Terence Trent D'Arby, Bobby McFerrin, and Stevie Wonder.
" With a force that exudes his passion for love and life, a tone that resounds in both whisper and wail, and a consciousness that, without being preachy, speaks truth to power, Nhojj has spent more than a decade becoming what some regard as an acoustic soul “genius of joy”. “I want to make the world better…one song at a time!” Nhojj says, a statement that underscores a classic soul tradition of having a “message in the music”.
More distinctive than his trademark flowing locs or striking features is that Nhojj is a songwriter who understands lyricism, a vocalist who projects his voice as an instrument, and an entertainer with a mysterious magnetism that has compelled International audiences for years. With an essence that is as sweet as it is strong, Nhojj is the self-affirming “warrior” noted in his award-winning, chart-topping anthem Gay warrior song. His fight is not for power or prestige. In fact, after 6 CDs, 11 singles and an Unplugged Live DVD (filmed by Emmy-nominated director Bill Cote), Nhojj best fights for love through the courageous magic of his songs ".
