MESSENGER OF PEACE

About Me


Aniba Hotep (translated as Messenger of Peace) is a rare vocalist whose sound has been described as "thunderous honey", jazz and R&B to the taste, gospel and folk going down. A southern girl with the musical ancestry of would-be bluesmen and country preachers. Aniba has an uncanny ability to not only excel at many genres, but serve as a griot through her conversational method of songwriting. She began as a local celebrity in her hometown at age eight, cutting her teeth in talent shows and composing her own music in academic honors programs, leading her to the famed Apollo theater at the age of twelve. Aniba stepped away from the spotlight in 1995 to pursue her education and figure out where her sound fit in the mid-90's music industry. By 2001 her love or writing and the rediscovery of the artists Aniba Hotep was born and bred on (Mahalia Jackson, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, and Shirley Murdock) called her to a new arena of music that finally felt like home. Together with the inspired sounds of the Sol Collective, Miss Hotep is geared for her life's mission; to interpret and tell the story of a people as only she can.
You seem older than your years, like a wise sage. Your head always either buried in a book, or discussing what you have learned with others, you are Thoth. The creator of writting, and language, you are full of wisdom. When you talk, people listen, knowing they will learn something new.
