My music genre is Afrobeat. The whole of Afrobeat was founded by a man named Fela Kuti, and still continues to this day by his two sons and plenty of other bands that have been inspired by him.
When Fela performed live, he would often paint his face in an African tribal style to bring him closer to his ancestors. This inspired me to go find some African prints, and create a type of musical collage. My intent was to create something simple, but at the same time very visually stimulating. I wanted to transform these prints into something a bit trippier and modernized, to bring his music to a more current style.
