I’m Not Them

Comments: 0


People always ask what sets you apart? Who do you sound like? The thing I’ve come to realize is “I’m Not Them”. I’m not Chris Brown, I’m not Usher, I’m not Pharrell…..I’m not Ariana Grande……I’m Ejshani and Ejshani is who I am and who I will always be…..

My light, knowledge, individuality, and commitment to my artistry is what makes me stand out. A clear demonstration of this is my new song, “I Wanna Rock Forever”. I know my lane, I stay in it, and I understand that many people will join the ride and want to rock with me, and others won’t. I’m comfortable not trying to please everyone as trying to please everyone is a recipe for disaster.

Here’s my guarantee: I’m going to make you feel good connecting with me and I’m going to make sure my music and content is the only emotional solution you can rely on. I love everyone but I’m not in the everyone business because ‘everyone don’t get me’. For those who emotionally connect with me……“I Wanna Rock Forever”.

I am not like other singers/songwriters/producers. Does that make me better? Worse? Who knows. I’ll let you be the judge of that. However, it does mean I do things differently……… I’m a firm believer that if all you do is what everyone else does, you’ll never stand out.

While other singer/songwriter/producers are chasing trends, I’m running in the opposite direction…….blazing my own path. I’m an attention getter because my music is uniquely me. Of course, I’ve been influenced by a number of great artists, producers, and songwriters……but at the end of the day, I’m proud of the cool fact that I am committed to being different. Don’t get it twisted…..I don’t know everything in my industry, however, I know that knowing who I am not was a growth spurt that I welcomed years ago.

You see I started my career mimicking singers until I discovered I did not fit in. I was wasting my time pretending to be something I was not. Do you ever feel like you don’t fit in? Is it because you’re different from everyone else? The wonderful thing about being different and not fitting in is that that is your super power, as it is mine.  Years ago, I turned the corner and took a deep long look in the mirror. After writing “Really Righteous”, track 5 on my album, “I Dun Struck Gold”, it was crystal clear. My melodic choices, musicality, rhythmic phrasing, and tone, set me apart. While performing, writing and producing that album I realized that there are many artists that I love but the simple fact of the matter is……I am Ejshani……..I’m not them.

With all sincerity, I am the truest form of myself. The life of a focused singer/songwriter/producer is a lonely place. I’m not perfect, however, I am extremely focused on my craft. It requires a lot of solitude and introspection to pour out my soul in song. My focus has single-handedly caused me to sacrifice fun, nights out, sleep, and countless special moments with family and friends. I learned early on that sacrifice is essential in order to evolve closer to the mastery of the craft of singing, songwriting, and producing, all at once. Most days and nights you’ll find me writing, recording, mixing, and strategizing on a myriad of music business related tasks. Artistically, my process can make me feel alone and depleted. In order to give myself strength and remember why I started this journey, I wrote the song, “I Wanna Rock Forever”.  It breathes double entendre, in that it’s a love song and an anthem about longevity.

I say all these things as a man driven by a larger than life vision……reach the hurting and heal the human race……..

People with no vision can’t relate and laugh at me…….and people with short-sighted vision don’t care. My desire is that…….you, part of the 1% with clear vision, allow me to lift you up in prayer for a fruitful outcome of your vision. Please extend the same kindness toward me.

In fact, do me a favor.

All the best,

Ejshani
