About Xeynamay
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail.
My mom & dad used to have a VHS tape with a collection of iconic live performances. For almost 3 years, my little brother and I had a morning routine where we played "Daddy Cool" by Boney M. and I remember that as the start of my love for funk/disco.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular?
Alemayehu Eshete, Éthiopiques, Vol. 9: Alèmayèhu Eshèté (1969-1974)
Beyoncé, B'Day Deluxe Edition
Donna Summer, I Remember Yesterday
Donna Summer's "Remember Yesterday" is my lifelong dance anthem.
Beyoncé's "B'Day" was my first CD and I still look back on how amazing it is.
"Ethiopiques Vol 9: Alemayehu Eshete" is an Ethiopian classic. Timeless work.

“In His Arms”
This is the most personal song on the project. I wrote this after fearing the tragic end of a toxic relationship. It's one of those rare moments I barely remember writing it because it was that much of a release. I also love performing it.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far?
The moment I'll always cherish in my career is when I performed without any nerves. I got completely immersed in the music, instinctively syncing with the instruments. Finally, I felt that familiar, profound connection with music.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band?
Yes! I want to build the stage of my dreams. I have so much love for storytelling via stage design and sonic productions. I want to one day perform at a stadium and build a completely immersive set that transports the audience into a whole new world.
