Episode # 45 - Getting to Know Atlanta Based Singer/Songwriter Somalia

Join my conversation with Somalia. She's an R&B singer and songwriter based in Atlanta, Georgia. Originally from Jersey City, New Jersey but raised in Lithonia, Georgia, she grew up listening to a wide range of artists. She ultimately fell in love with the harmonious melodies of R&B music. Singing since the age of 10, Somalia truly comes alive on stage. Voted “Most likely to be famous” in her senior class, she actively trained at being a better performer by acting in plays, musicals, joining dance teams, and doing talent shows every year at her school. Determined to focus on her passion for music, she went on to study music and Comparative Women Studies at Spelman College. Upon graduating from college, she packed out her self-produced debut concert titled “The Sweet Freedom Concert.” Since then, she’s graced the stages of festivals, theaters, and auditoriums performing for more than 3,000 people. Her music blends R&B, Neo Soul, Jazz, and Hip-hop. Inspired by artists like Brandy, Tweet, Missy Elliott, and Jill Scott, Somalia makes music to show that R&B isn’t dead. With a true respect and love for live music. Somalia is making a name for herself as she has performed at over 180 shows across the world and for stars such as Kelly Price and KeKe Wyatt. Somalia uses her melodic vocal range and inspiring lyrics to captivate audiences of all ages. Some of her most recent performances include the Atlanta Beltline Art on the Beltline Exhibition, National Black Arts Wine Down Wednesday, and Taste of Soul Atlanta. Most notably, Somalia has used her talent for philanthropic endeavors with shows to raise funds for the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) National Day of Hope and Peaceful performances for the Pandemic to honor frontline workers.
