Nigerian-born singer and song-writer, Fidelis, is coming through with his debut single, “Want This,” one week before Christmas.
Raised in London, Fidelis uses music as a means to explore the world and his place in all that complexity. His debut single, “Want This,” is a declaration of intent, signaling his intention to keep striving despite obstacles to his mobility. Fidelis has been writing music and playing musical instruments for much of the last decade all in a quest to find the best of himself and “Want This” is both a message to motivate himself further and an avenue to encourage others not to give up.
“For me, music has always been about passing on a message,” Fidelis says about his debut single. “Creating a space for anyone who listens to my music to feel somewhat easy, warmer, and to feel the less-cold sides of this world we are living in. I try to make music that makes people feel that. It’s very relatable. It helps people feel better about what they are going through. And it tells them that there are other people like them out there and they aren’t alone.”
His assured debut single closes as it impressively begins, with an impassioned defense of hope, and Fidelis is only getting started.
