JMANI is bound to capture listeners, especially with lyrics like “daily I’ve been thinking me and you for vibe.” Kwamz concludes the EP with the assertive anthem “How I Want,” laying out his self-confidence with “I look and I dress how I want to, I talk and I walk how I want to.”

 

“Nature’s Symphony is a part of  my experience of moving from the UK to the Netherlands and I made the EP in the woods, so there was pure nature and sounds. The Symphony, which is how I came up with the title. The EP is the vibe and the energy of the move from UK. ‘Confidence’ is about having the confidence in yourself  and celebrating that” – KWAMZ.
