Artist, activist, advocate, adventurer and true to her ancient name (meaning The Faithful One), Mehuman's songs invite the listener into her fearless transparency. Mehuman's signature sound, "folk hop for hip folk" is Affrilachia - Americana, rooted in the traditional rhythms of Gospel, Jazz, and Blues. With keening spirit-filled melodies enveloping folky lyricism, Mehuman sings from her soul with a sacred conviction that lovingly ministers to troubled and despairing hearts with one tested truth, "There is always Hope." In times when the world needs more grace, and a lot more love, both are found in rare abundance in Mehuman's life and music.
