“
The problem with being a failed musician is that whenever you find yourself listening to pure talent you feel jealous and perhaps a little nauseous as you realise that you’ll never be that good. As a failed musician, when I listen to Gareth Icke, I feel like I’m in the throes of death…..but it’s a happy death.” -

FKN NEWZ
Newsreader Deek brings you the news in his own unique way.
Imani Hekima
Bradford singer-songwriter/keyboardist Imani Hekima in many ways addresses some of the key themes of AV4. His soulful, reggae/jazz influenced original material is the perfect platform for his articulate, truth oriented lyrical content. The warmth of Imani’s music allows him to deliver hard hitting messages in a very accessible way. He is joined onstage by the adept rhythm section of Stuart Mitchell on drums and Philippe Clegg on bass.
The promo video of Imani’s song ‘The Robots’ Rebellion’ was featured in the Headlines section of the David Icke website in 2009, achieving over 2000 hits on Youtube over a 3 day period. He has recently been listed on the website of the Conscious Media Network, in their ‘Conscious Music’ section. He is currently completing his debut album ‘Just Beneath The Skin’, which should be available around May/June 2010.
“Imani writes about the conditions we are collectively experiencing and the feeling that so many seem to be having on the planet” CONSCIOUS MEDIA NETWORK
