SUPAVAL

Supaval is a Houston-based Afro R & B singer/songwriter from the South West region of Cameroon.  His unique voice and charm cuts across your heart with a burning desire to want more. His lyrics are very uplifting and his genre is very universal. His first debut was in 2009 with a makossa album released in Maryland entitled, Nkongseh. In 2010, he released his second album, Big Mamie, in Houston which was a total deviation from Makossa to Afro beats. Having recently signed with Franco Records, his next album is set to be released on March 16th, 2013 called ‘The New Beginning’.

Below is an excerpt from an interview by a fashion magazine on Supaval talking about himself:
I have always loved music growing up and as I grew older, I realized I actually had the talent to create music. It was just about finding the right circumstances in which to flourish. I believe I have now found that at Franco Records where there is a team willing to work with me in order for us to make beautiful music together. We are at the start of a wonderful project and I am really looking forward to the day when I can turn the radio on and hear my song playing.

My music is intended for all audiences regardless of age or race. It is the kind of music that allows listeners to forget their troubles and feel good living in the moment. This shall be the mantra throughout all the songs I create. I do intend to fully experiment with many genres of music and to keep pushing on to discover the boundaries of my creativity. Peace and love to all my fans!!!!!!!! Listen to my songs on www.soundcloud.com
