Taomi

Taomi is a 25-year-old musician from Michalovce, at the end of May he released his third studio album Echinacea. The fourteen-track project stands out especially for its energy and multi-genre nature. It is his biggest and most personal musical work to date, which he says is the most advanced in terms of vocals, technique, and the lyrics themselves.

"A lot of people stereotype me, but I'm not really a rapper. I'm just translating and reshaping my life into art. And that form of art is music. Some of the songs may be rap, but I'm fusing a lot more diverse genre. However, if someone wanted to forcefully categorize me, I would rather put myself in the genre of contemporary R&B," Taomi explains.

While studying in London, Taomi met another artist, Mark Damian, who became the symbolic patron of this album. He is not afraid to get even more personal in the album this time and discusses serious topics, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in a song with Mark Damian, a condition he has his own experience with.
