At just 17 years old, New Zealand’s own Imani J is proving that age is just a number and talent is a force of nature. Her latest single, a vibrant, upbeat collaboration featuring Bam Marley (nephew of the legendary Bob Marley) is a masterclass in modern Afrofusion.

Born from a "wild card" studio session in Los Angeles last July, the track centers on a timeless truth that actions speak louder than words. With an infectious groove and a delivery that radiates confidence, the single highlights Imani’s growing dominance in the R&B space. Drawing comparisons to the likes of Tyla, Imani J is more than just a singer; she is a songwriter, dancer, and performer carving out a powerful global presence.
