Canadian Artist Lonely Boy Reveals The Two Amapiano Artists He Wants To Work With. Lonely Boy is an emerging artist out of Ottawa, Canada who effortlessly combines a unique, sultry and nostalgic R&B sound to create his music.
Anthony Isaac, known onstage as Lonely Boy, knew he wanted to be a singer ever since he would duet with Whitney Houston in front of the television as a young child.Now an artist in his own right, the Ottawa-based singer is enthusiastically arriving on the music scene, ready to share his unique R&B sound with the world. As amapiano continues to dominate the global music scene, Lonely Boy can’t help but praise the genre, and go as far as praising the likes of Kabza de Small and Musa Keys for their stellar music composition skills.
“I think merging the R&B sound with amapiano beats made by Kabza and Musa would really result in a masterpiece track. Their execution when it comes to composing a song is truly admirable hence a song with them would truly be an honour,” he told SMAG.
Having a strong fascination with the African continent and the desire to go back to his roots, Lonely Boy explained that in hindsight, the pandemic was a blessing in disguise that helped his virtual shows get the recognition they deserved. “I was supposed to be in SA in 2020 for a general trip with the family. We were going to tour Nigeria as well as South Africa but the pandemic happened hence I’ve never been down there. This was at a time I was starting to work on my music and become more serious about my career. Where I’m from, people are overlooked, so I feel really empowered that my music has reached the South African audience… it’s like I’m going back to my African roots. I remember watching Fela Kuti perform live when I was eight years old, I recall leaning over to my grandfather and telling him that whatever Fela was doing on stage and the energy he was exuding, I wanted to do the exact same thing,” he added.
