PANDITA FULFILLS GOD-GIVEN ASSIGNMENT BY SPREADING THE GOSPEL THROUGH MUSIC...


After 4 years away from the main scene, Pandita comes back in with full force partnering with Nigerian producer Wale Owoade in a song entitled Hallelujah Praise coincidentally released on her birthday and Thanksgiving day - November 24th.

Originally from Mamfe, Pandita was raised in a Christian home primarily by her grandparents and aunts, with dregree of Godliness instilled in her. Her passion for music started at a very early age, singing with the children’s choir at The Apostolic Church Cameroon in Mamfe. After finishing her primary education at Government Practicing School Egbekaw, she moved to Yaoundé for her secondary education at English High School (EHS). While at EHS, her passion grew even stronger as she was determined in fulfilling her God’s given assignment which was to spread the gospel through music.

Moving from Cameroon to the United States in 2010, she was introduced into pro-music production by Cameroonian singer Naomi Achu. Pandita crafted her first single “Life Don Better” in 2012 with the help of sound engineer Walta Blackson and a Cameroon based Producer Joseph Dinka’a aka Joe Piano.

In 2013, Pandita was nominated for Best Gospel artist in the maiden edition of SONNAH Awards, which took place in Yaounde. Pandita there on took a while off the main scene to focus on her academics and to build her brand. While away, she started a new interest in community service, that help randomly selected underprivileged and orphans in indigenous areas of Cameroon made possible by the yearly praise and worship events she organises in her resident city of Cincinnati, OH. She actively got back in the scene early 2016 with the help of Nigerian born, American-based Producer Wale Owoade with a medley cover of popular gospel worship songs including “Miracle Worker” by Glowreeyah Braimah.

This cover caught the eyes of many new followers from all around the globe. In the Autumn of 2016, she was recognised as the most valuable Cameroonian Gospel artist at the Diaspora Entertainment Awards which took place in Maryland.

Pandita also draws her inspiration from various artists with varying arrays of genres, some of which are Bukola Bekes, Tasha Cobbs, Ronke Adesoken, Mary Mary, Stella Damasus, Chioma Jesus, Nathaniel Bassey, Grace Forlu, and many more. With a massive amount of talent and drive, the best is yet to come from this young woman after God’s heart.

SIX WAYS TO HANDLE ADVERSITY, APPRECIATE IDENTITY & CELEBRATE TRIUMPH WITH MYRA MAIMOH'S UNIQ...


Myra Maimoh's sophomore album Uniq is now released and available on all major online platforms and it is quite the masterpiece for many different reasons. Very rarely does an artist try to, and succeed in accomplishing so many things in a 6 song EP.

We are taken to the very essence of who the artist is, and what her musical range and influences have been. A marked departure from her first album, Uniq tells a compelling story of power through adversity and identifying one’s voice and identity; you get the feeling Myra is singing as much to herself as she is to other people. A conviction in message carries throughout the album.

A No Go Tire’ is a musical gem that sets the stage for Myra's believe in finding a home in God and those who matter, as you go through life's adversity. This song is so beautiful that the instrumentals are just as powerful as the lyrics, no wonder she includes instrumentals as a separate track. Myra sticks to her own version of soul which lends itself to her understated vocal range and ability. She lets the song come to her. Her message of hope shines through as the Spanish guitar takes centre stage - simply sublime.


She ratcheted things up with 'On Va Danser', which is as smooth an afrobeat-rnb track as there is out there. Her Cameroonian and African roots shines through the drums and bilingual lyrics. A call to dance and make merry in appreciation of her motherland.

Feh Vitavivi’ is the track that settles you down to into your soulful place. It lets Myra's voice carry the track as she explores the idea of emerging with power in a mix of English and one of the languages of her fatherland. The musical cadence of the song and instruments transpose you into a different sphere of relaxation and inflection - a true 'listener’s' song if ever there was any.

She brings the power and energy back with the most complex song in the repertoire as we are transported by 'Beau Parleur' into a festival of drums, and percussions, and counter rhythms for which African music is so widely noted. Beau Parleur acts as a counter weight to the more extravagant promise songs of the RnB world. Her play on the empty promises, that people are usually are subjected to shows the mind and thinking of the singer philosopher, all combined in a festival for the ears and work for the feet! Breathtaking is the word that comes to mind.


Her title track, ‘Uniq’ which has a newly released video shot in Cameroon by renowned Adah Akenji, is one for the ages. A hip hop packed girl power anthem which still has some Africa infused into it. Here, we see Myra the vocalist let loose - her adlibs and octave changes are only matched in effectiveness by the sick bass drops and catchy chorus - all this while still delivering a message of uniqueness and belief to every young girl and lady who dares listen to themselves and their own abilities.  Uniq, her most cross over song delivers to a wider audience of listeners, but it still stays true to who she is in delivering a positive message!

The album rounds up with a collaboration reggae hip-hop track 'Faraway' with the sultry and sensationally lazy voice of Tboi. Once more a song sang in yet another language - pidgin, but a song that shows Myra the vocalist unafraid to share the spotlight with another powerful artist. A song of hope that makes us know wherever we are in our struggles, or successes are not that far away.


You round up the album with instrumentals by enjoying the genius and various influences of the talented and international producers who collaborated to make this album so simply, 'Uniq'. 

Uniq the album, is a triumph in the S-trifecta - Sound, Song, Soul. It leaves you quite wanting more but not being unsatisfied. An album well worth its price tag and more. Two thumbs up! The album is available to buy on her website as well as on iTunes, Amazon.

Watch the video for Uniq here:


The artist shares a weekly live acapella session on her Facebook page, stay tuned for a sweet soul mix! Catch the first one here: https://www.facebook.com/MyraMaimoh/videos/1367433146600618/
