Fresh & New Video: Yetunde Johnson Brings “Favourite Things”

In the spirit of the christmas season, I have a special video from an upcoming musician “Yetunde Johnson” who happens to topping the list of my fave fast coming acts.

I am posting a preview of her latest video for your honest opinion. All constructive criticisms and suggestions are readily welcome.


Check out the video, photos and profile of Yetunde Johnson below…


 
Yetunde Johnson is a UK based singer song writer from North London.

Yetunde was born in Lagos Nigeria on May 31st 1985 and resided there until her parents migrated to the UK when she was five years old.

Just two years later Yetunde was singing at her local church every weekend and soon started touring with a youth choir started by her father at various gospel concerts around the UK.

This carried on into her late teens and by then it was clear Yetunde had come into her own as a solo artist with her definitive voice and style of writing.

Yetunde began recording demos in a friends make shift studio which were produced by her brothers production company Niimp (Nothing is impossible) records and spent time perfecting her craft by writing and recording weekly.

Although Yetunde carried on with her studies and a string of odd jobs, she still maintained a strong connection to her passion for recording and performing and worked with different UK artist such as Loudmouth, Offkey, Yolanda Brown, comedian Eddie Kadi, and shared the stage with gospel legend Ron Kenoly.

By the summer of 2008 Yetunde signed up with Real Music and Management a week before her 23rd birthday. A few months after she was signed to Green Garden Records as their first female solo artist and began recording her debut album in both the US and UK.


Alongside the likes of Anita Mcloud, Chris Arms, Benny Bizzie and Danny Schogger, Yetunde wrote and co-wrote her whole album and also collaborated with label mate Haydon Eshun on a track.


She describes the songs on her album as an outlet of emotions which draw from personal experiences, conversations and humorous situations witnessed in every day life.


Slated to be released autumn 2011, Yetunde’s album titled “Favourite Things” will definitely be a refreshing edition to the music scene.
