Artist, producer, engineer and even graphic designer, this jack of all trades embodies the resourcefulness of his generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Used to multiple collaborations \u2014 in 2018, he released several singles including &#8220;UP&#8221; with Zarion Uti, &#8220;Ice Cold&#8221; and &#8220;Werk For Me&#8221; with PsychoYP &amp; Kiienka, this multifaceted artist surprises us in an introspective EP where he evokes his relationships, his doubts and the obstacles encountered during his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a project so personal, it&#8217;s fitting that the only features are from Kiienka and fellow 44DB Collective member Tochi Bedford. Their collaboration on &#8220;In My Bag&#8221; is a bouncy affair showcasing why these three are at the forefront of a new wave in Nigerian music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The message of <em>On Impact <\/em>is one of hope as he wants his listeners to know that anything is possible regardless of the circumstances you might be facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen to Veen in our playlist Songs of the Week on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Spotify (s\u2019ouvre dans un nouvel onglet)\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/playlist\/5Au5WzqKtuYMaqK1zT88Qv?si=TC_Hq7VjTu2LPyT-ZTdFQw\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify<\/a> and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Deezer (s\u2019ouvre dans un nouvel onglet)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.deezer.com\/fr\/playlist\/1878285902\" target=\"_blank\">Deezer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"730\" src=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/5f529071-veen-couverture-album.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-58991\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/5f529071-veen-couverture-album.jpg 728w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/5f529071-veen-couverture-album-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/5f529071-veen-couverture-album-661x663.jpg 661w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/5f529071-veen-couverture-album-465x466.jpg 465w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/5f529071-veen-couverture-album-375x376.jpg 375w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/5f529071-veen-couverture-album-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/5f529071-veen-couverture-album-85x85.jpg 85w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/5f529071-veen-couverture-album-73x73.jpg 73w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1010px) 759px,100vw\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><figcaption>Veen &#8211; <em>On Impact<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1010\" height=\"1415\" src=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/9f92b4ab-veen-press-photo-2-min-1010x1415.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-58995\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/9f92b4ab-veen-press-photo-2-min-1010x1415.jpg 1010w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/9f92b4ab-veen-press-photo-2-min-759x1063.jpg 759w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/9f92b4ab-veen-press-photo-2-min-661x926.jpg 661w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/9f92b4ab-veen-press-photo-2-min-465x651.jpg 465w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/9f92b4ab-veen-press-photo-2-min-375x525.jpg 375w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/9f92b4ab-veen-press-photo-2-min.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1010px) 759px,100vw\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><figcaption>\u00a9 Veen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following his single &#8220;City Drills&#8221;, Kiienka&#8217;s brother confirms his ascent with a new project.
