Ogbonnaya, Nnamdi - Drool Music CD

Nnamdi Ogbonnaya is a multi-instrumentalist composer, producer, and performer from Chicago, IL. Relentless participation in numerous musical projects bridged genres and created inroads between scenes. Nnamdi toured North America with projects ranging from punk to jazz. He played the basements of Mexico and Europe in his hardcore band, Itto. His jazz-fusion project Monobody opened for Tortoise on one of Chicago's premiere stages. A full accounting of his musical activity over the last eight years includes approximately 15 bands and dozens of tours. DROOL, his most mature and accessible work to date, combines hip-hop, math rock, gospel, punk, and jazz. His songs often contain a sense of satire that can be just as humorous as it is critical. Nnamdi's lyrical insights draw on the diversity of his cultural experience as a Black, Jewish, first generation Nigerian-American. DROOL is a Father/Daughter Records & Sooper Records co-release.
