Filah Lah Lah

Her father was an avid lover of music, with tastes ranging from Jazz to funk – he made it a point for black music to pour into his children’s ears.
 
At quite an early age, Filah was introduced to phenomenal jazz musicians, the likes of Nina Simone, Miles Davis, and John Coltrane, as well as the greats of rhythm and blues; Marvin Gaye, Betty Wright and Smokey Robinson to name but a few. 
 
90’s hip hop music was also played at high volumes in the house, much to her benefit of course, because she attributes the genre as one of her major influences. 
 
“I was always different. In the way I thought, played, dreamt, spoke, looked. It’s contextual but there’s never been a moment in my life where I didn’t feel “other”. Music allows me to be “other”. It allows me to make the constant decision to be who I really am”, she says. 
 
Filah released her debut EP “Filahsofy” produced by Mike Kalombo in August 2020. She's now back with her Sophomore EP entitled "We're Gonna Be Just Fine".
