With his latest single, City of Angels, Nigerian artiste/entrepreneur, Ash Hamman has turned personal tragedy into a powerful musical tribute.
City of Angels honours the victims, survivors and firefighters who have endured California’s devastating wildfires.
Ash’s emotional journey began when he was forced to evacuate his Los Angeles residence with his family, witnessing the destruction firsthand.
One heartbreaking story, in particular, left a lasting impact – a young boy who lost his cherished storybook in the fires. The moment resonated deeply with Ash, fueling his desire to channel grief into a song that offers hope and healing.
“California’s wildfires have left an indelible mark on so many lives, including my own,” Ash reflects. “This song is my way of paying tribute to the heroes, the survivors, and those we’ve lost.”
Accompanied by a poignant music video, City of Angels visually narrates the destruction, courage and solidarity that define California’s spirit. Through haunting melodies and soul-stirring lyrics, the song stands as a testament to the power of music to heal and inspire.
With City of Angels, Ash Hamman not only honours those affected by the wildfires, but also reminds the world of the resilience that keeps communities standing even in the face of unimaginable loss.
