Heeey! My brother from another mother! @georgemuffington is the first producer I worked with. In 2015, we released #GodIsABlackWomban as a dub poem and a dub. He was also the resident DJ at the Pan Afrikan Poets Cafe, for major events like #DefineYourselfForYourself and also #AfrikaSpeaksBack2017 . . We’ve also been published by #CorditePoetry, “An Ode To Blair Peach”. . . I remember when we met. George and his partner Anastasia were regulars at the @papoets open mics, which I hosted at @baroussou. They would bring their daughter Ottie along. George reached out and asked if I’d be interested in setting “God Is A Black Womban” to dub. It was a dream request and I was scared shitless. Outside radio, I didn’t really know much about studio recording but I said yes. . . I went over to their home and we ate and chatted about reggae we love, growing up in Zimbabwe, our vision for roots reggae in Australia via Zimbabwe. We even discussed the possibility of touring and performing, one day. Anastasia was there too gleefully adding thoughts and ideas to our dreaming session. . . When it came time to record, George was awesome. Very supportive. He’d already made a dub to suit my voice; now I had to add my voice to the instrumental. After a few tries where we ironed out tech stuff and arrangement. I took a nap (this happens all the time when I’m creating) woke up and headed back into the booth and laid the vocals in that single take. I just needed to get out of my own way. Naps are amazing like that … 🤣🤷🏾♀️ Anastasia, giggling, was like, “well … wow … one nap later!” 🤣 It’s true! LoL! . . We took this photo here outside of 3CR Community Radio station. I’d asked George to come through with some music so we could promote the upcoming event, #AfrikaSpeaksBack. . . Life’s keeping us both pretty busy and out of sync, sadly. We’ll keep you posted but it might be time to retire our dream 😢🖤 the love is still strong though.
