OKINAPLUS Perspective on STOGIES (Demo)

I’m a multifaceted instrumentalist and rap artist hailing from the vibrant streets of the Bronx, New York. Music isn’t just a passion for me; it’s my life’s soundtrack and my sanctuary. It serves as a powerful medium through which I express myself and navigate the complexities of my experiences and traumas.

This song is deeply personal to me. It reflects my journey, reminding me of my own strength and capabilities, while also acknowledging my humanity and the vulnerabilities that come with it.

My earliest memory of music takes me back to the vibrant sounds of Motown, the powerful narratives of rap, and the smooth rhythms of R&B, all blending into the soundtrack of my childhood. But the moment that truly stands out is sitting in my living room, completely mesmerized by Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller.’ I was captivated not just by the music but by the storytelling, the energy, and the sheer magic of the performance. It wasn’t just listening; it was an experience that ignited my passion for music and set me on my path as an artist.
