Nigerian creative executive Mansa Cole, born Chiori Daniel Cole, has released his debut single “Far From Home”.
Cole is best known within the Afrobeats industry for his work at Achievas Entertainment, where he has managed artists, directed live productions and helped execute large-scale concerts, including Olamide’s OLIC series.
His career has placed him alongside some of the genre’s most prominent acts, among them Davido, Burna Boy and Wizkid.
“Far From Home” marks his transition from behind-the-scenes operator to recording artist. The song is narrated from the perspective of a child waiting for a father who rarely returns, set against the steady presence of a mother whose love provides solace. Soft melodies carry the track, while Igbo expressions are woven into the lyrics to articulate the child’s grief and disorientation. Imagery of scattered birds evokes restlessness and a closing vision of heaven’s gate offers resolution.
“I wanted it to feel like a memory you can hear, something soft but heavy at the same time,” Cole said of the single.
“Far From Home” is now available on all major streaming platforms via ONErpm.
