Who: Fawziyya Heart
Funk
Fawziyya was born and raised in the heart of Philadelphia. She has been heavily influenced by the music scene that has been changing more and more over the years in Philly. Building long lasting musical relationships on the scene and the love of music is what keeps her going everyday. Her greatest inspirations are Nina Simone, Erykah Badu, and her fellow musical friends. On a typical day you can find her with a pen and decorated notebook writing songs about her life experiences. If she’s not doing that, she’s probably busy making someone laugh, like crack up laughing.
Fawziyya started off on the Philadelphia music scene by performing with various bands and dipping her feet in the music business. She performed on stage and in the studio with global house music collective Worldtown Sound System alongside Grammy award winning Pablo Batista (Alicia Keys/Grover Washington Jr). Philadelphia’s legendary Chuck Treece who remixed songs for Amy Grant and Sting, playing the bass line on “The River of Dreams” by Billy Joel, produces on Fawziyya’s new E.P. alongside Trap Rabbit’s ( it’s not trap music lol) Logan Roth. Come along on this journey, explore her mind through song and sound.
