"The album is about this moment; how we got to where we are now; what love is; who you love; who your friends are; who you really are and what you stand for. It's about all the things that led to this moment, this time, right here, where all you have been, all you are and can be reside."
ASCENDANT was started by Kael Mboya (pronounced EM-BOY-YAH) as a vehicle for his musical expression. He has performed and recorded for several artists, including David Josias' 1995 single "Mindblowin" (IMI Records). He is always intensely passionate and dedicated to what the music is asking of him.
Aleata Holloway joined up with Kael and added her own unique style to the mix. Having performed bass in many bands over the years, including touring with blues legend Otis Clay and a six month stint in Singapore, she found a great opportunity to showcase her own music with ASCENDANT.
Once the creative heading was decided by Kael and Aleata, they decided to share the opportunity with their mutual friend Michael Lockett, who sang with vocal group, Truce ("Pump It", Strictly Rhythm Records). Michael added a desirable element to ASCENDANT with his talents of harmony and vocal styling.
So wait no longer...Be moved. Be inspired. Experience ASCENDANT
