Eki Shola’s vibrant career in music and medicine can be described best by the artist herself, “I create music not only for myself, but to generate a space for the listener. Music is healing.”
A gifted vocalist and pianist, Shola’s music transcends genre, as she seamlessly creates from jazz, electronica, world, and new music to produce a sonic landscape all her own. Her music has been described as “…sound art to be used to trigger thought and encourage love and beauty through rhythm and unique composition.” Born in London to Jamaican parents, Eki Shola was raised in a musical family and began playing piano at the age of five. After her family emigrated to New York in the late 1980s, Eki Shola’s cultural and musical horizons expanded as a student at Cornell University. In both 2017 and 2018 Eki Shola was awarded the NorBay Music Award for Best Electronica Artist. In the aftermath of losing everything in the devastating 2017 Northern California wildfires, Eki Shola’s single, Marching On, was released as part of the Out of the Fire benefit album, the proceeds of which is to help purchase instruments for musicians affected by the fires.
