Inobes music sounds like a conversation between a butterfly and a funk-jazz collage.
Inobe's musical journey started in a small Baptist church in St. Petersburg, FL where her grandfather is Pastor. She grew up in a singing family and learned at an early age that she could move people with her voice and comfort them with her words.
After graduating from a performing arts high school, Inobe moved to Atlanta and completed a music business degree at Georgia State University.
Armed with a lifetime of musical heritage and a newly minted degree, Inobe decided to offer her brand of indie soul directly to fans through the web and live shows.
Over the past few years she has developed a signature sound blending funk, soul and jazz. The sound has earned Inobe a loyal following around the world.
Sometimes compared to Erykah Badu, Inobe has a soul-shifting voice and sings with a transparent honesty that engages listeners in intimate dialogue.
Her songs and performances convey an understanding of people's situations that makes you feel she's singing directly to you.
Inobe has performed 5 USO tours to lift spirits and entertain American troops around the world. She has played her music in 17 countries across North and Central America, Europe, Greenland, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, the Pacific Rim and the Caribbean.
Her world travel experiences have added a heightened consciousness to her songs that were already rich with hope and compassion for others.
She has drawn audiences at many premier new music venues including the Temple Bar; Hard Rock Café Atlanta; Cotton Club; Café Fais Do Do; Blue Café; EarthLink Live and Apache Café.
She appeared before an estimated audience of 400,000 viewers on Fox 5 Good Day Atlanta.
Inobe has been a featured performer at several regional festivals and conferences including Atlanta's Music Midtown, National Black Arts Festival, Heritage Arts Festival, African Festival of the Arts and Atlantis Music Conference.
She has shared stages with some of today's biggest R&B stars including India.Arie, Erykah Badu, Ashanti, Nivea, Vivian Green, Donnie, Kindred, Roy Hargrove, Musiq Soulchild and Donell Jones.
Inobe has sold over 5,000 records and single downloads. Her music has sold worldwide in 33 countries across six continents.
The week of November 14, 2007, Grandma Said was iTunes Japans Single of the Week with over 25,000 downloads.
Her music and persona have received larger-than-life attention. The real-life entertainer and her music inspire the lead characters in the New York Times best sellers Naughty or Nice (2003) and Chasing Destiny (2006) by Eric Jerome Dickey.
I write about things God has brought me through, but I also write to others pain, says Inobe.
People like your music if they can stretch to identify with it, but they don't fully appreciate it unless your music stretches to identify with them first.
