Album Notes

Modele was born in Jos, Plateau .. Nigeria.

Her style of music is a blend of Jazz and Soul with a touch of Reggae riding on traditional African rhythm. She combines inspirational, motivational songs characterized by a strong sense of personal style and an immense depth of lyrical content, woven together in musical pieces. In her words, .. “When I write songs, I do so with the aim of reaching the soul of the listener, striking a chord in their hearts and bringing buried emotions to the surface, so they can be dealt with.. “


Her earliest musical influences were the rich sounds of ..Sikulu.. from South Africa.
In more recent years she has given herself to learning from the creative work of Tracey Chapman, Jill Scott, Erika Badu, Ben Okafor $ Lisa McClendon.

‘I simply love to listen to abstract sounds…I easily get bored with sound that is just…good $simple’

Modele’s HEARTCRY is the summary of a 4-year journey to self-discovery in her musical world which ‘is still evolving!’…she playfully warns.

Her next piece of work..AFTER DARK is already in the mix and will be attempt to capture the Metamorphosis of the Diva
