ABOUT SEMAJI “Music is like breathing to me. It just flows through me. Like God gave me the breath of life, he also gave me the gift of song”, explains Semaji, a multitalented, songwriter, producer and musician. My mother often reminds me of how I used to crawl to the record player, at the age of two, and watch the record “go round and round” whenever she would play something smooth by Marvin Gaye. At a very young age I appreciated exceptional music.” “At age seven, I gave my life to Christ and began singing in church back in Oakland, Ca. It was then that I knew praising God through the gift of song would forever be a central part of my life. At age fifteen, I began to produce songs for local artists. I have had the privilege of working with some truly gifted artists including Ledisi, who has become a world renowned vocalist. Some of my influences include Jill Scott, Fred Hammond, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, and The Clark Sisters.” “REAL SOON”, the title of SEMAJI’s new project, has caught the ear of many influential artists in the neo-soul and gospel community. It's a fresh take on gospel music that brings a unique blend of Neo-Soul, Hip-Hop, and R&B together while keeping the message focused on Jesus. “The word of God will always be the core of my music,” explains SEMAJI. His heartfelt lyrics on the smooth track “SONSHINE,” will encourage you if you're in a storm. You'll want to lift holy hands on the live, up-tempo track “Praise” (featuring Inger, his wife). “Jesus” (featuring Veronica Evans) “is in one word, powerful!” J.D. music editor. I'd like to thank the fans for their overwhelming support! I'd also like to thank all of the truly gifted singers and musicians who made this album something special. It's exciting to see what God is doing! This project has been a truly rewarding experience for me and my family. I'm so thankful that God has given me the opportunity to share my gift with the world. Be blessed and keep God first. Semaji
