IaM by Athieno
What a labor it has been – a labor of love, pain and everything in between. When I first embarked on this project I thought that I was simply making an album. What I didn't realize is that this project would birth something deeper - a kind of rebirth of myself. Through the roller coaster ride of emotions I experienced while writing and recording I came to discover the significance of self-love, self-acceptance, and self-validation. I believe that by embracing who you are, you are then able to present your unique self to the world, subsequently enriching your community and the world at large. So today, April 4th 2016, I present to you "IaM", my journey back to myself. I hope to encourage you toward self-love, self-acceptance, and self-validation.
I am now a tremendously proud momma of this album that has been marinating for the last couple of years. And now that this album is finally out of the oven, let’s break bread…
