Live Sessions
Live Sessions, a new series capturing raw, close-up performances from artists with African influence and diaspora heritage.
Filmed in a live studio setting, these sessions are about shared energy, vulnerability and musical storytelling — offering a different side of Afro Soul Stories beyond the long-form conversations. Stay tuned as we roll out more live performances and future sessions with artists across the diaspora.
Creativity Through Heritage
Sewor Okudzeto is a Ghanaian, British, American music producer, Musical Director, screen composer, and media founder with a truly global perspective. He created Afro Soul Stories to document the stories, sounds, and cultural legacies that mainstream media consistently overlooks — building a permanent archive of Afro-diasporic creative identity, one conversation at a time.
Afro Soul Stories was created to amplify Afro-diasporic and Afro-Caribbean voices often overlooked in mainstream media, creating a free digital archive of artist-led conversations and cultural documentation.
