Those African Chicks - Exploring Identities Of African Women

Meet Tomi Owo, Nigerian Alternative Soul Singer-Songwriter.  Like many African creatives Tomi was in the corporate space when she could no longer ignore the strong call to creative art through music. In this episode, we talk about taking purposeful steps towards realizing ones’ dreams and how she was able to do this through consistency and planning with the help of her then aspiring producer brother. She walks us through her creative process – how she goes from idea to execution- and how global situations influence some her work .  SHOW SPONSORS: Jewel + Baubles – an affordable jewelry line for the contemporary woman  CONVERSATION Transition from Corporate to Music African Identity in Music Music Creation Process & The Business of Music : Going from idea to execution Songwriting influence Current Projects Life as a newly wed  TOMI’s CURRENT READS S.
