Jamaica-born, Toronto-raised recording artist Demitsedek (formerly known as Tha Vor) will be releasing a new EP called Masked Confusion on Friday, June 7th, 2024. The reggae-fused hip-hop project will have a total of five tracks, each carefully crafted to tell a story that’s both personal and unique to the author.
It is worth noting that this project was inspired in part by experiences Demitsedek had while living in Tanzania (Africa) for over a year. See his summation below.
“During the time I had a few life changing experiences that caused me to do much soul searching and reflection. Looking into my Ethiopian roots I decided it was best to align my self with a more African perspective. So I change my name from Tha Vor to Demitsedek. During this time I also wrote a few books as well, one on healing and health, and one on His Imperial Majesty. I also spent many hours in the studio recording many songs which I would like to share and distribute.”
