Manny's Mirage

Mannywellz is a young legend in the making. His soulful tone, sincere lyrics and ethereal melodies will undoubtedly cause you to have butterflies...even if you’re not infatuated with someone.

Born in Nigeria, the Maryland-based native’s latest EP, Mirage, consists of seven songs showcasing his take on love. “I feel like sometimes when you’re in a relationship, or like when you’re in love (it doesn’t even have to be with a person), you’re usually in a world of your own. An optical illusion—in your own space—and that’s what ‘Mirage’ really means to me,” said the multi-talented 26-year-old musician to 247HH.com.  “I’m just reflecting on different times of my life where I was in my own world feeling good and bad.”

Wellz’, whose real name is Emmanuel Ajomale, ‘dreamy’ body of work is 22 minutes of sonic bliss. The singer, songwriter and producer is known to incorporate R&B, Hip Hop, Pop, Jazz and West African vibes in his music. In this particular project, Manny continues to blend genres producing a concoction any listener would love. Shit, the songs are so damn good you’ll end up having the EP on loop all day without even knowing (*clears throat* it’s not like that happened to me). As the old saying goes: “time flies when you’re having fun.”

I’ll stop my blabbering here so you can have a chance to fully enjoy Mannywellz’ breathtaking chunes as well. Below is one of my favorite tracks from Mirage titled “Floating,” featuring fellow Nigerian rising stars VanJess.
