Ephraim Getahun

My name is Ephraim Getahun, and I am the first person in my family (nuclear and extended) to be born in America. My family is original from Ethiopia, and grown up understanding the despair of third world countries. I am greatly influenced by traditional Ethiopian music, and derive some of my music from it. I am unique from any other musician solely on my ability to write very unique songs do to my background, and how I grew up. My songs don't only deal with what mainstream pop music writes about. A lot of music is deep, and you really have to listen to the words to understand the true meaning of the song; I am a true lyricist.
