Biography

Somi, an American jazz and pop singer-songwriter, draws inspiration from her Ugandan and Rwandan heritage. Born in Champaign, Illinois, she later studied anthropology and African studies at the University of Illinois before earning a master's in performance studies from New York University. Somi's music, often described as "New African Jazz," blends influences from Dianne Reeves, Nina Simone, Letta Mbulu, and Dee Dee Bridgewater. Her albums have charted on Billboard and featured collaborations with notable musicians such as Jeremy Pelt and Lionel Loueke.

In 2014, Somi released Lagos Music Salon, influenced by her time living in Nigeria and featuring guest appearances from Common and Angélique Kidjo. Her fifth studio album, Petite Afrique, released in 2017, explores the immigrant experience in the United States with contributions from musicians like Liberty Ellman and Marcus Strickland. Throughout her career, Somi has garnered critical acclaim and recognition, including being named a TED Fellow in the Arts.

Artist Affinity estimates how strongly an artist's audience overlaps with interest in specific brands, products, and categories. It is derived from aggregated social and behavioral signals—who fans follow, save, click, and engage with—normalized across platforms. Higher affinity suggests better partnership fit and higher likelihood that fans will respond positively to branded content or offers. Use it to shortlist natural brand partners and product concepts that feel authentic to the audience. Combine affinity with Connection Strength (ER) and reach to balance fit with impact. Treat affinity as directional—validate with creative tests and small pilots before scaling.

ER = (likes + comments + shares) ÷ audience per post ≥ 3.0% = Very Strong 2.0–2.99% = Strong 1.0–1.99% = Moderate < 1.0% = Low

How to read it: Pair ER with reach (views/followers) to gauge intensity and scale.
