Afrobeats artist Skimo is set to make his mark on the mix industry with the release of his debut EP “Road to Exito”
The five mid tempo tracks are a reflection of self, friends, love life and family with stories related to his search for financial freedom through music.
A deeply personal and sonically diverse project, the EP captures her journey of resilience, growth, and artistic evolution.
MZEAL credits her producer, WALITALI, as a key contributor to the project, highlighting his ability to bring her ideas to life.
“He understood my sound and helped shape it in the best way possible,” she shares. “We worked together on several tracks, and it was an incredible experience. He knew exactly how to translate my vision into music with the right instrumentals.”
Beyond working with WALITALI, MZEAL also played a direct role in the production, contributing to several tracks. “I was heavily involved in making sure every sound reflected my vision.”
Diary of a Wild Flower is more than just music—it’s a reflection of MZEAL’s personal and professional journey. Having spent nine years navigating the industry on her own, she has faced and overcome countless challenges.
“This EP isn’t just about music—it’s about survival, reinvention, and self-discovery,” she explains. “I didn’t always take the right path, but I learned from every mistake, and that growth is in the music.”
A key part of her evolution is her growth as a songwriter. Every song on the EP was written by MZEAL, showcasing her ability to tell her own story in a deeply personal way. “This project reflects not just my life but also my development as a songwriter. My pen game has evolved, and this EP is proof of that.”
Her environment, background, and struggles have all shaped the EP’s narrative. As a young woman in the Nigerian music industry, she has had to fight harder to carve her space. “Life isn’t always fair, especially for young women in this industry, but I want people to hear my story and see themselves in it.” Sonically, Diary of a Wild Flower is a fusion of genres that showcases MZEAL’s artistic evolution. While rooted in Afrobeats, the project expands into Afro-house, Afro-R&B, Afropop, and Afro-dancehall influences.
The recording process was organic, taking place in a variety of settings—from intimate solo sessions in her bedroom to larger collaborative sessions with musicians. “The music flowed naturally. I recorded many tracks, but in the end, I carefully selected the ones that best represented my vision.”
Several tracks in Diary of a Wild Flowerreflect MZEAL’s journey, struggles, and triumphs:
“These three songs best represent Diary of a Wild Flower because they tell my story,” MZEAL explains. “Ihe Kwuru Nnem” is about overcoming obstacles and making my family proud, even though I once ignored good advice. “Liquor” is about stepping into greatness, and “Cold Lie” is about how long I’ve been on this journey, holding on to my vision despite the setbacks.
This EP is me unveiling my true self to the world.”
While her previously released track “Dealer” is not officially part of the EP, it remains deeply connected to the Wild Flower story.
“Even though it’s not on the tracklist, “Dealer” is still a part of this journey.”
