Washington DC-based rapper and musician Born I Music (formerly known as Born Infinite, actually born as Ofosu Jones-Quartey) is mostly notable for the way he mixed rap and spirituality during his tenure in the rap duo known as Shambhala with New York native Agua . Shambhala is best known for the album “The Lotus Of…”. The Ghanian-American artist has drawn on inspiration from John Coltrane to Frank Sinatra as well as the Buddha, all of whom has left a deep impression on him. Eventually his love for hip hop and electronic music got the upper hand, drawing heavy influences from the likes of Rza, Kanye West, Diplo, Jay-Z, Ghostface, M.I.A. and The Clipse to name a few. Now Born has gone solo and is trying new things musically — but his study and practice of Buddhist meditation still informs his work, both in his songs and in his life outside the studio and stage.
