A musical tribute to family
Ocean L took to social media to thank his father for the support as he pursues his music career.
“My dad is the true definition of a present dad. I’m not just talking about being there physically — I’m talking about a dad who believes in his sons’ visions and dreams,” he wrote.
“The verse that he added to the song touches me, giving me the send-off to success, joy and love.”
He said the track is a tribute to his entire family and the values that shaped him.
“I’m paving my own way and building my dream life. Because of this, I feel more ready than ever to tackle the world. Putting God at the centre of it all makes it even sweeter,” he said.
“I want to thank the whole Ndaba clan for standing behind me. I’m blessed to have the family that I have. I dedicate this song to my whole family.”
Ocean L hopes to inspire optimism through his debut EP
Ocean L released his debut single Manifest in August 2022, a year after his song My Step Dad Is a Devil was leaked before its official release.
In October this year, he released his debut EP, Optimistic, which features songs such as The Ndaba Testament, Loyal to My Soul, Optimistic and Power of the Word.
He said he hopes his new offering inspires listeners to overcome challenges and embrace optimism.
“I pray that it gives you the energy to help you overcome anything in this world — through your troubles, appreciating the good times, and understanding true optimism and all the beautiful things in life,” he added.
