Artists constantly mine the past to create music in the present. But VanJess put its own twist on the process. The R&B duo made up of sisters Ivana and Jessica Nwokike used images from their family history to make the mini-masterpiece of 2021 EP “Homegrown.”
“We’ve always channeled nostalgia in our music and been inspired by old records,” Jessica told the Herald. “But one thing that happened for us (during quarantine) was that we looked through old photo albums of our parents in Nigeria in the ’70s and that really inspired the visual elements of the project. We thought it would be really cool to pay tribute to them and also showcase our roots being Nigerian and also American.”
