“This song is about making sacrifices to stay true to yourself and the conflicting sense of wanting to do what’s expected versus wanting to do what’s best for you.” - Imani-J
At just 17, Imani-J is already carving out a powerful voice in the R&B and Afrobeats scene. An artist in the truest sense of the word - singer, songwriter, dancer and performer - she tells stories of her own unique journey and experiences as a young Kiwi/Haitian woman in NZ.
Imani-J fuses infectious Afrobeats with soul-baring lyrics on her new single, ‘Part of Me’. Reflecting on her decision to leave school and pursue music, the track blends raw storytelling with vibrant rhythms. An introspective anthem for anyone forging their own path.
On July 30th, Imani-J will be following up with an Official Music Video release, a large production in collaboration with driven young creatives.
Imani-J’s debut EP ‘EXPECTATIONS’ [embargoed] is set for release in September 2025. With her talent and dedication she is poised to make a significant impact on the NZ and global music scene.
