#5 - creativity through connection, with FaceSoul
Description
Episode 5 of The United Freedom Collective Podcast is an effervescent conversation with a collaborator of ours and an incredible artist in his own right – Faisal Salah aka FACESOUL.
Born in Somalia and raised in London, Faisal lives his life in service and offers his music as a form of medicine. Overcoming many hardships in his youth has given him a deep determination to find and share life’s beauty, which is so apparent when you meet him. He’s an absolute force of nature inside and outside the studio, with a voice that instantly brings joy to all who hear it and a warmth of spirit that is as humbling as it is infectious. He has devoted his life to exploring his spirituality and solidifying the immense power of his voice, which he has refined within medicine circles. Last year he made waves with his debut album YSRA, as well as an amazing vocal performance on the esteemed online music platform Colours.
We recorded this podcast earlier this year while we were all down in Cornwall together to write and record music. The conversation meanders through many topics we hold dear at United Freedom Collective - how mediation can help artistic creation, the dangers of getting too sucked in to the music industry, dealing with grief through devotion, the importance of connection through religion and music. Faisal also sings for us, which is a beautiful moment,
We really hope you enjoy it…
