Hey Reddit,
I'm Steven a music producer from Transylvania, Romania. My collaborator is Alakija (T-Krayne), a songwriter and performer from Lagos, Nigeria.
We met through music. We stayed connected through faith.
For over two years we've been writing and producing together across two completely different continents, time zones, cultures, and languages. What started as a creative experiment became one of the most meaningful things either of us has ever worked on.
Now we want to record a proper mini album, 5 to 7 tracks rooted in faith, blending Afro-influenced R&B with modern Hip-Hop. Real themes: purpose, gratitude, perseverance, doubt, and the kind of hope that doesn't come easy.
Everything on this album will be 100% human-made. No AI vocals. No AI beats. No shortcuts. We genuinely believe that music about God deserves that level of honesty and craft and we're not willing to compromise that.
The funds would go toward studio sessions, mixing & mastering, cover art, and distribution. We're not trying to get rich. We're trying to get this out into the world the right way.

Even if you can't give anything sharing this means more than you know.
With love, Steven (Nagsteve) & Alakija (T-Krayne)
