The 4-track project, produced by UK-based multi-instrumentalist Greg Surmacz (of the British bass outfit Paper Tiger), documents Okwonga’s departure from his hometown of London to Berlin, a move that brought about conflicting emotions for the multi-talented artiste.
“I was in plenty of pain when I left London, a city that I thought I would never part with,” he explains in a press release. “Yet, at the same time, I was growing excited about my new life, and I think that this contradiction is present throughout this record.”
The Nomadic also reflects on the experience of Okwonga’s parents, who migrated to Great Britain from Uganda in the 1970s.
