Vancity talent all over this one with lyricist e.d.g.e. and upcoming vocalist Tonye Aganaba featuring production from LoKeynote. The second verse is definitely a stand out to me. There’s a natural organic sound, with a deep groove and deep lyrics. So soulful don’t you agree?

The music begins with Tonye’s incredible guitar riffs and chords, which are a testament to her music prowess. As the song continues, Tonye’s intimate vocal takes you on a journey far away from the bustling city into an outskirt town somewhere in the middle of nowhere, where everything right, is whatever went wrong in the past, where the only resolution is through song and feeling. - Daniel Ram

Bio
Tonye Aganaba is a sultry singer-songwriter born in London, England and raised in Northern Canada. Now based in Vancouver B.C., she has lent her voice to a collection of recordings spanning multiple genres of music such as Electro-House, Dubstep, Neo-Soul, Hip-Hop and R&B.
2011 was a phenomenal year for Tonye as she gained notoriety within the electronic world following her #1 Dubstep track “So Good” with Vancouver’s “Hirshee” [Released on Beatport through Big Fish Recordings]. She also stormed the Vancouver music scene with Randy Ponzio and The Foundation, opening for such heavy weight acts as Ziggy Marley, Ky-Mani Marley and Yellowman. The band recently put the finishing touches on the much-awaited album, but suffered a massive loss following the tragic death of bandleader Randy Ponzio.
Her desire to encourage creative collaboration led to the development of her non-profit arts organization, The Living Society whose mandate is to Inspire, Motivate, and Educate through alternative artistic programming. As an entertainer, she could see first hand the dire need for the creation of positive works that encourage, motivate and inspire community.
Tonye is far from a novice when it comes to the worldwide touring circuit. She has been invited to perform around the world, and has gained a solid international fanbase that continuously grows. 2012 is rapidly lining up to be another year of international opportunities for this dynamic artist with Lebanon, Dubai, Asia, and beyond in her sights. Look out world…a magical force is brewing and planting positive roots through Tonye Aganaba!
