Leroy Nyoni takes his artistry to new heights

Leroy Nyoni will release fresh material in 2018 that promises to catapult his artistry to new heights. The first act is ‘Power of One’ which is a live music group centered on the founder himself, Nyoni, but continues to grow with other talented local artists and musicians who will show face from time to time. According to Nyoni: “The establishment of this group comes after having released an album titled ‘The Bechuanaland Sessions’ under the group WDP which saw jazz renditions of local songs. WDP being one of many musical outlets that will specialize in specific genres, WDP’s being Jazz and Crossover hence the need for associated acts. Power of One will focus strictly on Pop, Rap and RnB primarily.”

Power of One’s first single is a song titled Lesedi which talks about the dynamics of love and relationships. “It was recorded live in Village at The Village Sound Studios. All instruments were recorded and programmed by myself (this is the origin of the group name Power of One). Francois Arthur Titus mastered the song,” says Nyoni. He further says that the song is an RnB ballad and it features a local rapper named Nnete ‘Izvare’ Lubinda, who used to rap in a group called uptown. “He’s been solo for a while with a few of his own releases, his most recent 2017 being ‘Three Chief’s’. Inspiration for this song was the lack of live instruments in commercial Pop and RnB,” he adds. Nyoni adds that the song Lesedi also has a Vocal remix I did which is in a totally different genre from the original. It’s a Breakbeat remix with play and experimentation on the vocals. Both the original and remix are available online for streaming and purchase on all platforms from the release date which is the 6th of February. Power of one is available on Facebook, Twitter (P0wer0f0ne - the O’s are Zero’s) and the website is under construction.
