Through music, we’re able to find each other. ‘MUSIC IS CALLING TOWARDS RESCUE.’
SEUN KUTI joins ARMAN in London. CHARISMATIC, CONVERSATIONAL, and FASCINATING - KUTI touches on the most important choice we make as humans: the commitment to make decisions in alignment with what kind of human you want to be. Calling to the youth, he explains why a real artist makes this choice - to create art that’s elevating. With this responsibility, there’s no room for the patronising, commodifying, or low vibrational.
KUTI speaks of the disconnection of the African people, describing the African spirit as uniting through music. In his own words, ’THE SKY MUST BE BIG ENOUGH FOR ALL BIRDS TO FLY.’ A dad and husband before anything, he picks The Supremes BABY LOVE as a song to describe him. Taking us through his childhood and teen years, KUTI is a natural born leader - first captain of his football team, then with big dreams to become an economist. Nevertheless, a lifelong career in music was spurred by his desire to wake up on his own schedule, and dedicate himself to a craft he will continue to distill through his entire life. ‘Music is the only thing you can do forever.’
