Fresh on the scene, VOTT’s debut Afrobeat EP, “Heart Breaker,” promises a dynamic new sound to fans of Afrobeat, Hip Hop and R&B. He’s been working on this new sound while furthering his education at Boston University. It’s a sound informed by musical exploration, real-world travel, the exploration of new beats, and deepening cultural roots.
The Man Named VOTT
Emerging from a lower-middle-class background in Charleston, VOTT’s upbringing was steeped in the region’s rich culture, with strong ties to Africa and the Caribbean. His musical journey began with a profound love for the sounds and people around him, leading him into the realms of hip-hop and R&B. Despite facing the same trials that challenge many young artists today, VOTT’s resilience, determination, and introspection propelled him forward. He refused to abandon his musical dreams and embarked on a new path.
He dedicated his energy to education and pursued business studies while constantly thinking about his passion for music. Mastering the business techniques necessary for success in the complex music industry, VOTT created a bridge between his two skills to rise from his lower-class background in Charleston, break through the walls of the music industry, and land on the big-time music stage.
The Music of VOTT
VOTT’s music is a testament to his diverse experiences and influences. His extensive travels across the four hemispheres of Africa have profoundly shaped his sound, infusing it with a unique blend of cultures and musical styles. His music is a fusion of where he comes from, where he’s been, and who he has become – a blend of hip-hop, R&B, New Orleans Bounce, and Latin Trap, all rooted in Afrobeats. This unique sound, which can only be described as VOTT, will captivate your interest and leave you craving more.
What the “Heart Breaker” EP Promises
