“As a Black Woman, the decision to love yourself and to declare it proudly and loudly is in itself a radical act. Even if it makes others uncomfortable, I will love who I am and by doing so, I will inspire others to do the same.” says Chewii. After releasing her highly successful independent anthem “State Of The Nation” amid the Black Lives Matter protests, the Canadian-American Soul singer is finally dropping her debut EP, Black Skin Lullaby.

“When the movement sparked up, I rose with it and for two weeks I locked myself into the studio and immersed myself in the emotional grief of the moment and put all that emotion and pain into the creation of this project” explains Chewii, “I felt it was my duty as an artist, as Nina Simone once declared, to reflect the times.”

The highly anticipated debut EP “Black Skin Lullaby” allows her fierce vocals to shine throughout a powerful mix of ferocious Hip-Hop/Soul tracks, such as the honest and raw “Black Skin Lullaby” and trap-inflected number “State Of The Nation.” On the cover, three year old Chewii glares out with her beautiful big brown eyes at the world that awaits her.

“Due to being musically produced for so long and not being in control of the musical elements, once I started to produce and vocal engineer myself, I truly found my voice,” explains Chewii, who previously worked closely with Music Producer/Songwriter Govales, of how she’s evolving as a musician.

“Once I became in charge of my musical journey and direction, it was time to produce music and write songs that were made specifically for my voice. Speaking about the visuals that will accompany the EP “I want the visuals to reflect not only the hardships black and brown people have endured for centuries but also highlight the beauty of our spirit,” says Chewii.
