Since you're in the capital of Afro-Cuban music, I would suggest you mix your beautiful music styles with many of the different Latin styles of music you will (or have already) encounter there. You would be surprised at what you can come up with and the beat is always infectious in the process. Especially since the Genesis for most Latin and Caribbean based music originated from tribal music in Africa. So, you can bring it full circle and have fun in the process! I look forward to amazing music from you and the many collaborations you do! And ¡Bienvenidos a Miami!

I'm so happy for you and my country (US) and the numerous followers you have and are going to add from around the world. Oh my goodness, I can't believe it. A good book by one of your fellow Nigerians: Americanah by Chimamanda Adichie. I'm reading it for the 2nd time, this time in French. There are so many things I want to say. Good luck. What a way for me to start my day after a hard workout. Thanks.

Welcome to my country Helen. We are blessed to have you bringing your talents to our shores! Aloha! I'm on the other side of the country in Oregon but my late uncle and auntie lived in Florida in their later years. They lived in Key West Florida...a special place. You should check out a wonderful female singer guitarist from Baltimore named Evan Nichole Bell....she's someone I'd like to see you connect with now that you're here. Again, welcome! May you never thirst!

I’m a photographer. So, you mentioned lights! Think about the movies, they are never too bright. Sometimes, I think some of them are too dark. Too much shining light is never good. Think of artificial light as fill-in light. If too bright, it can’t be fixed in post. If possible, window light is best. You are very decorative with your guitars behind you, so you may want to adjust your camera for a well focused foreground and background. F/1.4, blurry background! Depending on the distance F/3.5, not so blurry background!

Welcome to the USA! Here, we love talented Musicians! I followed you on KZfaq at least three year. I really would love to come to one of your shows and/or buy your music. I always tell people about the beautiful guitarist from Africa, especially when they see a pictures of you in my phone. 😂 I use to draw a lot, I saved a picture of you to draw, I think it was during the pandemic, but then I got busy again. I always felt that you were a one of kind and one of the best guitarist I’ve ever heard. It’s like this, there wasn’t a Helen Ibe in the USA until now! We probably have more musician and producers here who can help propel you to the top, if they are not doing that already. I pray that everything you touch turns to gold. Praise the Lord! 🙏

Fantastic to learn that Guitar Maestro Helen Ibe is now FREE to reach for the stars without being slowed down by the travails faced by all who are stuck living in Nigeria where the economy has been in a nose dive for years. All roads lead to the USA for anyone serious and talented enough to chart a career path in the music industry, and Lord knows Helen Ibe is blessed abundantly with prodigious fretboard talent and breathtaking beauty in equal measure. Since Nigerian audiences don't appreciate guitarists, their loss is now the world's gain. Ms. Ibe's husband is the luckiest man in the world, for he won the heart of a supremely talented, intelligent, upbeat, focused, ambitious and exotically beautiful woman who is headed for mega-stardom just as sure as daybreak follows night. Jsiiikhe Nwannem. Jeee ninke omma. Major success and collaborations beckon you now in the US of A where the sky is truly the limit.

Welcome to the U.S. and to Florida. It will be great to hear and see more of your music. I live in Central Florida, and have been here for many years. I am also trying to relearn playing the guitar as I played some in my early years and got away from it. I just purchased recently a Les Paul Studio by Epiphone. Hope to get my fingers to work, I never really learned to play much, my fingers didn't want to cooperate! I look forward to much more from you in the coming months and years.
