Folk Pop from Nana Kottens

Born in Ghana, based in Indianapolis, Nana Kottens is a singer-songwriter, music producer and the CEO and co-founder of Sound Lion Records and Nana Kottens Tunes Publishing. Starting the label with his friend John Ocran, they use the venture to champion talented African artists from all over the world by promoting them and their music.

A true polymath, aside from his creative talent and business prowess, he’s also a renowned public health professional and a commissioned officer in the United States Uniformed Services. Attending the Regional Maritime University for 3 years where he studied Marine Engineering, he then earned a degree in Business Management from Liberty University before continuing his academic pursuits further at New York Medical College.

With his own music, he draws on his roots and threads a blend of both African and American cultures into his sound which takes influence from a range of styles and genres such as R&B, soul, pop, country, hip hop, reggae and Afro beats. In 2020, he made his solo artist entrance with his debut single “Mama Don’t Give Up” which he’s followed up with a string of well-received releases over the last two years.

Now he brings us his latest work with his new single titled “One More Chance”, a song written about asking a loved one for forgiveness. Reflecting on his own experience as an immigrant in love with a native in a foreign land, he uses his memories of meeting his own longtime girlfriend as inspiration for his songwriting.

Delivering a laid back sound driven by a gentle lo-fi style beat and peppered with piquant acoustic guitar work, with “One More Chance” Nana Kottens shares a moving new song that showcases his emotive writing and vocal panache.
