The Musical Journey

WHO IS HANDEL?

The world of Handel A.K.A Handelverse.I am native of Nigeria, and i have also loved music since i was a child. I always loved it because of my knowledge with afrobeats, afropop, and alternative music. My musical journey started with a profound and defining experience: the mesmerizing sight of a pianist in full command of their art. This moment was not merely an encounter with music; it was an epiphany, awakening a burning passion within me. From that day, the piano ceased to be just an instrument; it became a vessel for my artistic expression, a symbol of my future aspirations.

The Influences

My artistic identity has been sculpted by a diverse array of musical influences. Among the many, three albums have been pivotal in shaping my musical ethos:

• Dunsin Oyekan's "The Glory Experience (Songs of Zion)" - A transcendent blend of spiritual depth and musical mastery.
• Santi's "Mandy & The Jungle" - An album that marked the beginning of my journey on Apple Music, inspiring a host of my own creations.
• Chief.'s "Looking Through - EP" - An exploration in lo-fi music that reshaped my artistic direction and deepened my appreciation for the genre's intricate nuances.

The Creation of "Secrets" - EP

The creation of the "Secrets" EP, in collaboration with the talented Khoblac, is a significant landmark in my musical narrative. This EP is not just a collection of tracks but a journey into the depths of self-expression, merging my Afrobeat roots with uncharted creative territories. The EP embodies a spectrum of emotions - from self-awareness and booming confidence to acceptance and exhilarating anticipation of what the future holds.

Collaboration

In "Secrets", my collaboration with Khoblac - a prodigious African artist known for his unique blend of hip-hop, alternative R&B, and dancehall - has been instrumental. This partnership brought together our distinct musical backgrounds, creating a tapestry of sound that is both innovative and deeply resonant.

The EP commences with "Your Love," an optimistic and vibrant opener, setting the stage for the journey ahead. It's followed by the title track "Secrets," which captures the essence of joyful discovery, and "Superstar," a reflective yet optimistic piece. "Manya" shifts the mood with its nighttime vibes and Afrobeat rhythms, while "All Over" showcases a masterful blend of tribal elements and synth melodies. The EP concludes with "Fighter," a powerful testament to resilience and emotional depth.
