What is the name of your latest album?
The name of my latest album is The Ark.
What is your inspiration?
The Ark is the new beginning of anything associated with Sanii and his music. With reference to music is simply going back to the Sanii that you fell in love with and perfecting those little thongs that needed tweaking hence, The Ark is that new beginning.
What is the album’s inspiration?
The inspiration for the album is in the above paragraph…. however, mankind was given a new beginning when God commanded Noah to create The Ark. So the inspiration is rather biblical if u look at it from an another perspective
How many songs have you worked on?
For the songs for this particular album, I’d say 20. The thing is that it’s going to be my 1st double CD so the other 10 are called The Evolution which is like the epilogue of the “Old Sanii” and The Ark is the prequel to the “New Sanii”.
When can the public expect it to be out?
It’s a rather late release but either early October or Late November so that’s when people should expect it out.
