Musical career

Early career

Cina Soul's first attempt at music was her participation in the Vodafone Ghana Music Icons in 2014, where she emerged as a finalist. After which, we saw a series of mashups and covers of some mainstream songs, including Mr. Eazi's Bankulize and Cyna's Bamidele. In 2016, Cina released her debut album, "Metanoia," featuring M.anifest, Worlasi, and KiDi, the record that led her to the spotlight, earning her a spot on the charts with singles Awo and Julor. Cina Soul was immensely involved in the Black Girls Glow Project, which was launched in 2017 by Dzyadzorm and Poetra Asantewa. Alongside acts like Adomaa, Fu, and Ria Boss, the group released their first album, Mother of Heirs, in July 2017. Cina Soul performed at the Allianz Awards [6] at the Goethe-Institut in December 2017 alongside Nana Yaa at "Ghana Goes Germany" and the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards in 2017. She also hosted her own concert, "Metanoia X."

Universal Music Group

Earlier in 2018, Cina Soul released her first single after her EP, '00:01'[1] [2], which led to her being signed by the Universal Music Group. [3] She released her second record this year, "12:01," under the new record label. She released her second record and debut single under the Universal Music imprint in August 2019, titled Adukwei. The song, produced by Nii Quaye and performed in her local Ga dialect, was recorded ahead of the 2019 edition of the Homowo festival, a festival celebrated by the Ga people of Ghana.

Artistry

Cina Soul boasts a diverse vocal range but settles within the genres of soul, R&B, and highlife music. Cina Soul's music is written and sung in both English and Gaelic. She admits that most of her songs are derived from personal experiences.

Influences

Cina Soul's musical inspiration is derived strongly from Western influences. Her other musical influences are Anita Baker, Brandy, Sade, Aretha Franklin, Aṣa and Whitney Houston. She seeks artists with similar voice textures to hers and gleans from their experiences to enrich her own.
