August Makorr Is Optimistic About the Future on the Tim Lyre Assisted “On My Way”

Gabon-born Augustine Ebrechi Akor known as August Makorr is an artist-songwriter from Imo State, Nigeria, based in Los Angeles. His music journey started in Lagos, Nigeria. Fascinated with the creation process, August learnt how to write, record, mix and master his songs, making his first one after his relocation to Los Angeles, in 2013.

“On My Way” essentially aims to encourage gratitude towards life. August bounces from English to Nigerian pidgin to express his optimism about the future notwithstanding his rough past. Backed by soothing vocal harmonies in the chorus, August is later joined by fast-rising Tim Lyre.

“The song was written after my visit to my home country, Nigeria after not being around for over 7 years. I was consumed with work in the U.S, bills, stressed and trying to meet the western standard of success. It felt like I hit a reset button after arriving back home in Nigeria. Seeing family, experiencing my culture gave me that sense of hope to take a deep breath. People who had nothing to their name were happy so I have no excuse to not be thankful for life”,
