Having already made a name for himself as a renowned actor after appearing in recurring roles for hit TV shows such as Pretty Little Liars, The Rookie and Glee, vocalist and songwriter Titus Makin aka Butterfly Ali has also been making a huge impression on the music scene of late with his previously shared singles ‘Rose’, ‘Righteous’, ‘5 Minutes’ and his latest offering, the Sam Barsh (Kendrick Lamar, Logic, Anderson .Paak, Aloe Blacc) produced ‘Pray For Em’.
‘Pray For ‘Em’ sees the artist continue his fresh and breezy aesthetic on this bright and powerful new release. With its stunning new video directed by Austin Hughes and channelling more of those classic funk and soul-enriched vibes, his newest gem is intended as a symbol of peace and tranquillity in his own non-racial paradise.
Graduating from the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts, Titus relocated to Los Angeles to pursue his acting and musical career on a professional level.
As an artist, Butterfly Ali (Titus) cites Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Pharrell Williams, Cee Lo Green, PJ Morton and Leon Bridges as some of his musical inspirations. His sound has been described as mainstream soul, coupled with funk and pop undertones and has written with and been produced by some of the industry's top producers including New Beat Fund, Jake Scott, Aaron Kellim and David Hodges (Evanescence, Christina Perri, Kelly Clarkson).
Raised in a military household of all jazz, funk, soul and blues music, it is Butterfly Ali's goal to keep the oldies alive and relevant. There's no doubt that he is a rising, multi-skilled artist to watch closely in 2020.
