'Playing live is scary' with Marika Hackman, Eliza Shaddad, Dino D'Santiago and Ayo Odia
Dino D'Santiago talks with Marika Hackman, Eliza Shaddad and Ayo Odia about the first songs they ever wrote, and whether they feel more comfortable in the studio or on stage.
On this globetrotting episode of Music Life we are taken into the mind of the artist with Portuguese singer of Cape Verdean descent Dino D鈥橲antiago. A singer, guitarist, and beat-boxer, he bridges the traditional sounds of Funan谩, Batuku, Morna with modern recording techniques and sounds.
He's joined by half-Finnish vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Marika Hackman; singer and writer of Sudanese and Scottish heritage Eliza Shaddad, who's a frequent collaborator with UK chart toppers Clean Bandit; and Ayo Odia, a saxophonist and singer of many guises, who currently plays with the collective Yung Afrika Pyoneers.
Together, they discuss the first songs they ever wrote, whether they feel most comfortable as artists in the studio or on the stage, and how they get away from the limitations of a genre.
