Mannywellz is a musical architect - carefully constructing each beat, word and melody into a holistic song tailored to his vision. Inspired by the native sounds of his African roots, Mannywellz found his voice inherently - translating his life experiences through his artistry in song writing, producing and playing multiple instruments.  With a charming smile and playful nature, listeners don't immediately know what to expect from Mannywellz (real name Emmanuel Ajomale).  But all agree that the Nigerian-born, Maryland-based artist is a unique talent. On a sold-out 24 city tour, over 25,000 fans have embraced his infectious genre melding performance. Mannywellz has shared the stage with acts such as Jidenna, Erykah Badu, Tory Lanez, Mali Music, Jaden & Willow Smith, Joey BadA$$ and many more.

His EP Soulfro was released on January 12, 2018.
