"My family emigrated to the United States from Sudan," Ahmed explains, "and I grew up around a lot of folks who weren't like me, as an outsider. That's influenced me and my music immensely, and ultimately, this entire project is my way of connecting with all kinds of people - what better way to start a conversation with someone than by telling them a story about yourself that they can relate to?"
When Ahmed sings, he sounds unafraid yet vulnerable. But while he once sang of feeling like he was on Mars, Ahmed is now firmly grounded on Earth. He's no longer searching for his home - he has created a home for himself. There's a party there, and Life & Livin' It is playing on the stereo. You are invited. Vinyl includes download card.
