Owe It To Myself

'Owe It to Myself' by Lennox Campbell AKA Biggz Manifest ‘Owe It to Myself’ is a feel-good tune describing how one owes themselves ‘a real good time’ after a long week at their 9-5 job. This song expresses the significance of making time to reward oneself after working hard throughout and gives the listener motivation to do so.   Lennox Campbell AKA Manifest Productions is a Song Writer, Composer, Engineer and Composer from South East London. For the last 30 years he has been in the music industry, creating all kinds of genres, mainly a mix of Jazz, Soul, Reggae and Pop. His label, 'Ghetto Born But Raised' currently holds 18 tracks, all of which are available on Jeeni. His influences are what he grew up listening to from the 70's to the early 90's, harboring lyrics on topics that bother him and his friend/singer J Wills. This is mainly the voice of struggle, injustice and corruption. Their groove is a true fusion of life growing up in England.
