Eki Shola, a musician and physician. In 2018 she wrote and produced a trilogy album (Possible, Drift, and Essential) following her 2016 debut album, Final Beginning, inspired by the passing of her mother. Possible symbolizes a moment characterized by hope and a determination to not give up after losing so much. Drift represents the subsequent period of wanting to be cocooned within a movement that was comforting, and healing.
Opening and closing with a rhythmic meditation, Essential evolved beyond its original intent to embrace newness and self-discovery through the power of voice. The album envelops you in instrumentals, spoken word, and lyrics that share hope and inspiration inspired by periods of contemplation among movements of climate change, coronavirus pandemic, and Black Lives Matter advocacy.
Partial proceeds to be donated to the Freedom Community Clinic serving underserved people of color who live in the Bay Area.

When you lose your music including all your stems in the 2017 Tubbs wildfire and you come across a musical gem among your saved emails - you realize how making music doesn't have to be temporal nor perfect in its process. It's all about the vibe and how it makes you feel. Jubilee is about two artists virtually collaborating and connecting... music unifies us all.
