Father-and-son collab on ‘Heartache’

Recording artiste iestro has released a heartfelt song titled Heartache in collaboration with his son and fellow artiste, Akhice, who he said inspired the single.

"When his mom passed away, he couldn't attend the funeral because his paperwork was not ready for him to travel at that time. He was extremely devastated, and I had to be consoling him; I really felt his pain," iestro explained.

As only his second release of his career, this new track sets the tone for what's to come from Akhice. The positive feedback so far is a great indicator of his promising future as an artiste.

"My hopes for this track are endless. This is a timeless song, so I have high expectations for this track," Akhice said.

A first-time collaboration between father and son, it's no surprise that the synergy between them led to a high quality production. iestro said this would not be the last time that they collaborate.

"I am very proud to say my legacy will be in good hands," iestro said, adding, "My hope for this song is that it reaches out to the masses and inspires the people who can relate. The vibe is definitely growing by the day."

Born Akheem Howe, Akhice is a versatile artiste who is not afraid to express himself sincerely through his music.

"My style of music is basically 'dancesoul' music. I sing from my heart but I also sing about what I see happening around me," he stated.

"What's next for me is creating my EP for 2024 and just getting on a different level by then. I'm going to keep expressing myself more, showing what I have to offer as an artiste to this generation and beyond," he added.

With past releases such as Easy Breezy and Stronger, iestro also has several new productions in the pipeline.

"I'm currently working on new music and I will also be doing two music videos, for the singles Mama Hazel and Bigger Token," he said.
