hey fam, hope your new year started of lovely. i'm out on the east coast now - in new jersey checkin out the scene here & new york. i hope to get to the uk sometime this year.
I'm not on here that often but I do see you and appreciate your comment. and it is a vibe as far as the Nina Simone reference. Her voice is distinctively hers. you know it even when she was speaking. No one can mimic, but I certainly admire and would love someone to hear my voice and go, "that's Nakia"...
Peace to you and all you do, love. http://nakiahenry.com
Right on , the tunes are nice and heavy,keep it pushin!!
