About Empress Truth Akins
Artist Biography
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My earliest memory of music was my father playing records while he cleaned on his day off. He would always play, The Coasters "Charlie Brown, he's a clown"; "Yakety Yak, Don't Talk Back" and that was his personality. No one talked back to my father.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Bob Marley & The Wailers, Legend – The Best of Bob Marley & The Wailers The Coasters, The Coasters The Marley Brothers, Cornerstone 2022 (feat. Ziggy Marley, Stephen Marley, Damian Marley, Julian Marley & Ky-Mani Marley) Bob Marley passed away a year after my father's passing. He came to me in a dream once. I feel that they are together playing music in the invisible world and visit me often to keep me strong; to survive. I have always related to my father's energy.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Voices” This song is for all those mentioned in Revelation 2:9. The youth that spent their lives in prison because they didn't have a father, and the father's that are in prison healing today. The school to prison pipeline is ending because of positive vibes
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? The most memorable moment in my career was working with the Scientist, on a dubbed out version of my song 'Belly' in North Hollywood, at The Knitting Factory. I felt so much anxiety. But, thank God for meditation, I fell stronger. My season has come.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? YesI, I want to work with a band live on a new album. The Uprising band, Julian Marley's band, would be a blessing to work with them. They are solid, and are like Onelove brothers to me. It would be a dream to tour with them on a new album one day.
