Revered Artiste, Visaka Outdoors “Blue Luna”
Visaka was born in London to parents of Sri Lankan and Gambian heritage. She lived in Gambia until the age of 4 before
returning to the UK, where she has lived ever since. With the percussive sounds of West Africa blended with the East and
everything in between, her creative approach is a cocktail of cultural influences.
At 19, she was scouted by A&R at 2Tone Records and released a single under the label that was played on the BBC Asian
Network. Latterly, she curated an EP with them, but even at that age, she knew that creative control was something that was important to her, and so she walked away from the opportunity due to creative differences.
Having amassed a lot of experience
under their wings, she went off to find her own network of producers and artists with whom she felt a true synergy.
To date, she has worked with numerous producers (local and international), including Vice Vic, The Royal Sounds, and Cin, to name a few.
As a performer, she has graced the stages of T On The Green at Pavilion Bruce Castle Park, City Splash, and most
recently the Hackney Reggae Festival this past summer.
Her debut EP, released on the 9th of September, is nuanced with ancestral influence and infused with her love for hip-hop, reggae, and jazz. A rebel at heart, she cites influences such as Bob Marley, Amy Winehouse, and Kendrick Lamar and has a deep reverence and admiration for their bravery in their art form, something she strives to have with hers.
She is set to reinvent the soundscape and push the boundaries of the established formula of a young independent artist. Her message is infused with deep roots, raw expression, and spiritual empowerment.

Mersea Unveils “Jopah”: A Musical Journey of Unity
“Finish Me” is a song off Mersea’s new album, “Jopah”.
The song has Wonder high ended shakers and snare combo in the beat. The sense of combo of Amapiano and Afrobeats vibes in the song is flawless.
The vocals are so much on point. The diversity of the male and female vocals created balance also. This is a great song.
The album, “Jopah” is of diverse influences to create a fresh, genre-blending sound. It’s a fusion of Afrobeat rhythms, soulful melodies, and contemporary sounds that reflect my personal journey and the cultural narratives that inspire me.
JOPAH is more than an album—it’s an immersive musical experience that connects deeply with audiences, evoking a sense of unity through music. Opportunities: With JOPAH now released, I’m eager to build momentum by securing strategic partnerships, media exposure, and distribution opportunities that will expand its reach. My focus is to: 1. Expand distribution through streaming platforms, record labels, and other networks for increased visibility and engagement. 2. Perform live, both virtually and in-person, to grow the fanbase and showcase the album’s energy on stage. 3. Gain media attention through press, radio, and other outlets, focusing on the album’s unique sound and cultural significance. 4. Collaborate with brands whose values and aesthetic align with the themes of the album to drive mutual growth. I believe JOPAH has the potential to resonate with a wide range of listeners, and I’m excited to partner with those who share my vision of creating powerful, cross-cultural musical experiences.

The Fruit of the Spirit: A Reflection of Divine Love Through Magdalene Ngala’s “Fill Me”
The presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives is a transformative force that enables us to bear good fruit. As described in Galatians 5:22-26, the fruit of the Spirit includes love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. These qualities are not only a reflection of God’s love but also a guiding light for our daily lives.
According to the scripture, those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires (Galatians 5:24). To live a life that is pleasing to God, we must walk in the Spirit, allowing His guidance and wisdom to shape our thoughts, words, and actions. As the apostle Paul exhorts, “If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit” (Galatians 5:25).
In our walk with God, it is essential to avoid becoming conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another (Galatians 5:26). Instead, we should strive to cultivate humility, kindness, and love towards others, reflecting the character of Christ in our lives.
In celebration of God’s love and the fruit of the Spirit, we invite you to enjoy a beautiful song that embodies the spirit of love and joy. The melodic scaling on the keys and supported chords on the pads create a loving atmosphere, while the natural and unadulterated vocals bring out the emotions of the heart.
The live beat performance adds a unique touch, making the listener feel like they are experiencing the music firsthand. The harmonious back-ups further enhance the song’s beauty, making it a wonderful expression of praise and worship.
Take a moment to listen to this wonderful song and let its message of love and joy inspire your heart. May the music be a reflection of God’s love and a reminder of the fruit of the Spirit in our lives.
