Why I Create

When I wrote Born Standing, I wasn’t just telling my story, I was documenting survival, reclaiming purpose, and lighting the path for others. When we birthed the Fasting Together series, it wasn’t just about health or discipline, it was about healing, reconnection, and remembering who we are when we choose to grow together.

And when I produced Born Standing – The Album, I wasn’t just making songs, I was scoring my soul, turning my lived experiences into sound.

The Fasting Together Soundtrack wasn’t about creating a beat, it was about bonding through shared struggle, and rising again with deeper intention.

For me, music is more than rhythm and melody, it’s a way to tell stories that words alone can’t always hold. But sometimes, the words matter just as deeply.

I don’t just make music to be heard.
I don’t just write books to be read.

I create to be felt.
To build bridges between pain and purpose.
To turn silence into sound, and stories into strength.

The Sound of Resilience

I am Kelechukwu Akaniro, the sonic architect behind the Born Standing and Fasting Together albums. A producer, sound visionary, and movement-maker fusing rhythm, purpose, and storytelling into unforgettable soundscapes. Every sound you hear carries my fingerprints, the fire I’ve walked through, the truths I’ve wrestled with, and the message I refuse to let die in silence.

My Signature Projects:

Born Standing – The Album
The Fasting Together Album (from the movement that became a movement)
Sunshine & Pepper – The Summer Vibe Album
Born Standing – The Remix Edition
Oshodi to Royalty – The Urban Anthem EP
Crowned in Gratitude – A Celebration of Grace
Long May She Burn – A Tribute to Eternal Flame

Each one is a reflection of my growth , and the fire I refuse to hide.

My Sound Identity:

Call it what you want , but I call it sacred rhythm.
It’s bold, grounded, and global.
It’s emotional but disciplined.
It’s legacy in sound.
It’s where the beats hit deep , because they come from deeper.
