“Inobe’s music sounds like a conversation between a butterfly
and a funk-jazz collage.”
Inobe's musical journey started in a small Baptist church in
St. Petersburg, FL where her grandfather is Pastor. She grew up
in a singing family and learned at an early age that she could
move people with her voice and comfort them with her words.
After graduating from a performing arts high school, Inobe moved
to Atlanta and completed a music business degree at Georgia
State University.
Armed with a lifetime of musical heritage and a newly minted
degree, Inobe decided to offer her brand of indie soul directly
to fans through the web and live shows. Over the past few years
she has developed a signature sound blending funk, soul and
jazz. The sound has earned Inobe a loyal following around the
world.
Sometimes compared to Erykah Badu, Inobe has a soul-shifting
voice and sings with a transparent honesty that engages
listeners in intimate dialogue. Her songs and performances
convey an understanding of people's situations that makes you
feel she's singing directly to you.
Inobe has performed 5 USO tours to lift spirits and entertain
American troops around the world. She has played her music in 17
countries across North and Central America, Europe, Greenland,
the Middle East, Africa, Asia, the Pacific Rim and the
Caribbean. Her world travel experiences have added a heightened
consciousness to her songs that were already rich with hope and
compassion for others.
She has drawn audiences at many premier new music venues
including the Temple Bar; Hard Rock Café Atlanta; Cotton Club;
Café Fais Do Do; Blue Café; EarthLink Live and Apache Café. She
appeared before an estimated audience of 400,000 viewers on Fox
5 Good Day Atlanta.
Inobe has been a featured performer at several regional
festivals and conferences including Atlanta's Music Midtown,
National Black Arts Festival, Heritage Arts Festival, African
Festival of the Arts and Atlantis Music Conference. She has
shared stages with some of today's biggest R&B stars including
India.Arie, Erykah Badu, Ashanti, Nivea, Vivian Green, Donnie,
Kindred, Roy Hargrove, Musiq Soulchild and Donell Jones.
Inobe has sold over 5,000 records and single downloads. Her
music has sold worldwide in 33 countries across six continents.
The week of November 14, 2007, “Grandma Said” was iTunes Japan’s
“Single of the Week” with over 25,000 downloads.
Her music and persona have received larger-than-life
attention. The real-life entertainer and her music inspire the
lead characters in the New York Times best sellers “Naughty or
Nice” (2003) and “Chasing Destiny” (2006) by Eric Jerome Dickey.
“I write about things God has brought me through, but I also
write to others’ pain,” says Inobe. “People like your music if
they can stretch to identify with it, but they don’t fully
appreciate it unless your music stretches to identify with them
first.”
