“As far as my music career, I want to make the kind of record that has a long lasting impact on people’s lives. I want to be able to create a sound that lives on beyond me and has a complete life of its own.”
Born in Lagos and currently based in Los Angeles, Israel Fowobaje also known as 1SRAEL is a multifaceted creative. Indulging in music at the tender age of 13, Israel says he was destined to be a musical powerhouse. “Music was the fist thing that I pursued and saw the fruits of my labour early on, not just in commercial success, but working with my peers and being a part of their process too,” he told RemixdMag.
He was no stranger to being sonically inclined as he “Grew up in a musical family, my mom was a successful gospel singer in Nigeria back in the days so my upbringing was studios and church choir.” Constantly being exposed to the studio, band, and the church choir it was natural for Israel to be talented.
Widely known directing music videos for huge artists such as Lucky Daye and Adekunle Gold, Israel set his sights on production. And in such a short time he has secured placements that has catapulted his career to new heights. Israel produced several hit songs including co-producing the 3x Grammy nominated hit single of the year “Wait For U” by Future feat. Drake and Tems. He has also produced for artists like Toosii, Rod Wave, Meek Mill and an artist he is excited to put on everyone’s radar is Cascash. He is currently working on his debut EP that reportedly has jaw dropping features. With 2022 being as epic as it was for Israel we can only hope for a monumental 2023.
“I’m currently working on my debut production EP, I have a few exciting features on their that I won’t share just yet! As far as dates go, I would say first quarter of next year you can expect the project in full,” 1SRAEL shares.
