Prior to the release of Sanmi’s debut single, ‘Love Will’ in 2020, he had been involved in the UK gospel music scene for almost 3 decades, with his first few songs having been recorded in 2001. The release of his long-awaited 17-track debut album, ‘Dance Again’, although delayed by the global pandemic is now scheduled for release in 2020, heralded by the single, ‘Love Will’. In music, he has been a mentor to many whom have gone on to establish themselves as recording artists. He is also a prolific song writer and singer. Growing up, he was influenced to sing by the music of Motown and he also loved listening to a lot of the classics from Solar Records! He was a fan of the likes of Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Gladys Knight, Donna Summer, Anita Baker, Paul McCartney, Teddy Pendergrass etc. and bands like Cool & the Gang, Heatwave, Sister Sledge and the Jacksons etc. When listening to music for leisure, it is jazz all the way! From the late 80’s, listening to Amy Grant and then ‘all things Winans’ had a major influence on his attitude and approach to music; and his songs (style and music) are a blend of all the beautiful artists before him and a fusion of Soul, pop, R&B, funk and jazz. He aims to contribute to the great work others are doing to bring the message of gospel music to a wider mainstream audience. In his new album there is RnB, soul, jazz and CCM. "Love Will" demonstrates his drive to produce beautiful music all can listen to and enjoy.
