Though Public Mind is Nehemiah抯 first solo release, it is not Nehemiah抯 n<.7tr0f\
debut on the music scene. Raised in his father抯 church, Nehemiah has Qr.{_M
been performing music in one form or another for most of his life. jHFjd'
Nehemiah had recorded his first song by the age of 12 and at the age of 15 :_8K8Sa
he headlined his first concert in his hometown of Portland, Oregon with .z>/A/&+
the proceeds going toward teenage victims of domestic violence. It was ;6G]~}>o
after that concert that Nehemiah was convinced that he wanted to pursue I-]G{
music professionally. .U!EA0B
Jt_=aMY:7
This pursuit has had its ups and downs but each one of them has shaped $*C
}iJsF
who Nehemiah is today, both as an artist and as a person. The highlights C4mkt2Eb0a
of Nehemiah抯 early career included an appearance in the motion picture U%h.l
Reggie抯 Prayer, starring the late football star Reggie White. In )Te\6qM
addition, Nehemiah appeared on a nationally syndicated talk show, took yKML{N1D
his live show to Canada, and opened up for the famed R&B/Gospel group, `% 9Y)a/e
Virtue. The experiences of his teenage years opened the door for '12m4quO
Nehemiah to later join Soul, a contemporary gospel group signed to a ef)RlzLOq
subsidiary of the Hendrix record label. This release spent 9 weeks on :'[?/<iTg
the Billboard gospel charts and peeked at number 36. Though the group ~c EN=(Z~r
was short-lived it provided Nehemiah the opportunity to tour the states '.v;/[0
and establish relationships that would bear fruit in the years to come. ]46h!@~aC

After briefly filling the lead vocalist spot in a group with producer HR ygz2bHpD~
Crump (Beyonce), Nehemiah decided to focus on developing his solo project. ,RPb<3
B
His debut solo album, Public Mind, is the product of all of his life x1@,k=qrd
experiences, both good and bad. The mid-tempo track 揟hat Person?is a Otq3nBZ
celebratory autobiographical account of all that happened to Nehemiah as :` SIuu~@
he recognized all that Jesus Christ is. Another personal song, 揊ly Away,? XRPJPwes]
was written for his daughter, Amiah, who died several weeks after being H:G``Vq;0m
born. It is songs like these that helped the album find its title. #un'?]tZF
Nehemiah explains, 揟he title of the album is intended to communicate on $.tT
two levels. First, I wanted to emphasize that I identify with my audience. B&MDn']fV/
The things that they struggle with, I struggle with. The things that D1RQkAZS
trouble them, trouble me. Second, I wanted to show that this album is not Te+#
simply a collection of songs, it is a window into my mind and life which I E2zL-ft.
have made public through this release.? }9ulHiR

Nehemiah lists artists ranging from Commissioned to Boyz II Men to Phil [r2V+b.C
Collins among his influences and the diversity of his personal palate comes 6nA9r5Ghv
through in the diversity of the album. Nehemiah wrote and produced much of {L$$"r,
the disc himself while also teaming with producers and songwriters Derek (cVIjo+::
Clark (Fred Hammond), Anson Dawkins (Dawkins & Dawkins), Chris Turner Y~Uf2(7b5
(Singleton抯), Cole Brown (Michelle Williams) and his brother J.B. PcsYy]Q/
(Benjiman). The production and vocals on the project are top notch, there ;1~ n|IY
is nothing about Nehemiah抯 debut that sounds like the independent project / :$WOQ
it truly is. But while people will definitely respond to the impressive R(}<W$(TV
vocals and banging tracks Nehemiah hopes they will especially be drawn to V dJ
the stories. 揝ome of these songs are birthed out of experiences I抳e 1#Vd)vSP
lived and some of them were born out of the experiences of my community. +P))*0(c_
Not all people will be able to relate to the exact details of every song but zW`Hqt;
I believe everyone will find themselves somewhere in each song. Each of W(62.3d~}?
them speaks of something true and real that we can all identify with. I xjp0w7L)J
look forward to hearing how people find their own stories in these songs.? 5B%KiE&p
