As an artist, I am always looking for ways to grow. As the lead hip-hop songwriting coach at the Otis Music Camp presented by The Otis Redding Foundation, I’m also always looking for and creating ways to help myself and my students to tap into new chambers of creativity.

This past May, in preparation for the camp, I was inspired to create the Say My Name challenge where the songwriter has to create a song based on a name, artist/song, and a scenario.

The result is the Say My Name Series! This is a two part series of multi-genre songs all inspired by community suggestions.

Big gratitude to: @kitofortune @rameuh_ @bashthewriter @blackrabblerouse @iamjaniciashanke for your suggestions

@kmtrumpet for the incredible trumpet 🎺

@ehubbonthesax for the vocals 🎙️

@king_karim95 and @sabirofficial for the ears 👂

Gratitude, ALäZ
