Description

There are just some singers that, as soon as they open their mouth and sing, make you think, my god, this could only be that one person.

And that's the situation with my guest this episode, Aysanabee.

From the moment I heard the songs from his formidable debut album Watin, I was struck by the power of his songwriting and by the incredible shape his voice gives to the songs.

Aysanabee just released his follow up to Watin, a six song EP entitled Here and Now.

We talk about it in our chat today, as well as the origins of his name, the reggae songs he was writing as a twelve year old, and the near death experience that finally got him to commit to being a musician.
