A lifetime lover of music and passionate performer, Nafaika was destined to become a recording artist. Through her own hard work and the support of an already musically inclined family, she has taken the first steps in what is sure to be a long and prosperous creative career.

Nafaika has been singing for almost her entire life, developing her skills as well as her love for the craft. Now at 20 years old, she is taking the steps to become a thriving and well known artist. Supported by her father who has guided her through the developmental processes of her career, her mother who has helped with the technical and managerial points, and a collection of family and friends, she has been able to grow into the musician she is today.

A debut to her creative career, Nafaika has recently released a gorgeous cover of the classic Four Tops track “Left With A Broken Heart”. The R&B cover took upwards of four years to complete, an on and off project that now symbolizes perseverance in her eyes.

Though she wasn’t always in love with the track, Nafaika grew to appreciate the work that it took and the beauty her performance was able to pull out of the music.

“I came to really like the song. It symbolizes perseverance and getting it done,” she explained. “It took a lot from me emotionally because my dad wanted it sung a certain way. He was absolutely correct, but it took a lot of work to learn to connect and emote with the song.”

Now Nafaika is able to listen to the song and feel a sense of accomplishment. She hopes that the song gives her audience the chance to connect their own experiences. “I want people to hear the lyrics and melody in contrast to what I feel, having actually sung the song,” she said. “It’s about catching your partner in the act of cheating, processing your emotions through the anger as well as processing a broken heart.”

Though “Left With A Broken Heart” comes with a heavy hearted story, the song pairs masterfully with a light and uplifting melody. The project, produced by her Uncle, is an easy to listen to song that will leave any listener craving more.

Following the release of “Left With A Broken Heart”, Nafaika is looking forward to continuing her journey as a recording musician. She has alluded to a variety of upcoming singles and the potential for some amazing collaborations, including one with Jamaican artist Dangio.

Nafaika is looking forward to sharing the other sides of her personality through her writing and performance. “These songs won’t sound exactly like ‘Left With A Broken Heart’,” she said. “I’m excited to show the versatility my music has to offer.”

Keep an eye out for her next release as Nafaika prepares to share her next single this coming fall.

The Mellow Mac Releases New R&B Single “One Way Ticket”

The Mellow Mac has just released his new single “One Way Ticket,” which he describes as a smooth R&B track. With the song’s glistening keys, drums and changes in vocal delivery, it’s an excellent blend of classic and modern R&B elements.

Mac says he wants the song to make people think of taking their relationship with their significant other to the next level. He also says he wants the lyrics of the song to be taken in a literal sense and have people be inspired to take a plane ride to see that special person in their lives. The song conveys this sentimental feeling through the uplifting melody and Mac’s vocals, which float between lower and higher registers.

The Mellow Mac’s background in music is quite vast. He has been producing for the last 20 years and before that made a career using his skills playing multiple instruments. Whether he was playing in bands as an official member or a session instrumentalist, Mac always found himself creating and being a part of live music.

In fact, in Mac’s own words, he’s been a part of 30 bands in his lifetime, with his own band, L.A. CounyLine, being one in which he’s active to this day. With this much experience, it comes as no surprise that he played all the instruments on “One Way Ticket” which include drums, keys and a guitar with subtle but strong presence.

Mac’s history with music spans his entire life and has allowed him to take inspiration from and have an appreciation for all lanes and genres of music. This also comes in handy for his production as he is able to work with a variety of artists. People are often surprised at just how wide his range truly is.

This single is a taste of the full album Mac has in store for 2025, which is also titled One Way Ticket. He says this album is his chance to finally showcase to the world what he enjoys most. His works across the years have all been collaborative efforts, which he loves and enjoys, but he says now he is ready to show the world his true authentic self.

He plans to include R&B on the album as well as some rap features. Naturally, he’ll be handling the production. The songwriting will be mostly his own and some will be in collaboration with his band member Jacob G.

The Mellow Mac’s driving force is his love for music. He enjoys making it and it doesn’t even feel like work to him — he even says it relaxes him. When the album releases, he looks forward to meeting people through the music he’s made. He says as long as people enjoy the music and share with others, he feels appreciated. If he’s able to gain new friends and fans while doing what he loves, he’s satisfied.
