  • Izeah Shines on “Call Me”

    Izeah Shines on “Call Me”


    Belgian Afrobeats artist Izeah, is at his best on his infectious new single “Call Me”

    The track, a perfect fusion of Afro R& B and pop, tells a story of situations we can all relate to: second chances.
    “It’s about realizing too late, trying to fix what’s broken and believing that people can change,” Izeah explains.

    Born to Ghanaian parents in Belgium, the artist is on a mission to spread the gospel of Afrobeats even further into Belgium and other parts of Europe.

    Afrobeats might be global and “Afrobeats to the world” a popular saying and rallying cry for players in the industry, but Iizeah is convinced that there’s more to be done.

    “I believe this genre doesn’t get the attention it deserves here in Belgium, and I want to change that. My goal is to bring Afro-music to the forefront and show that there is talent here capable of making an international impact.”

    His goal is to create a space in the Belgian scene for Afrobeats, not just as a foreign genre but as a mainstream part of the country’s music scene.

     “By growing my music internationally, I want to make a statement here in Belgium: there is an artist making waves abroad, proving that Afro-music deserves a place in our local scene as well.”
