“Heistheartist’s messages, reflections and affirmations in his musical interpretations are needed now more than ever.” – Jamsphere

Since making his debut as “HeIsTheArtist” in early 2020, the prolific singer-songwriter and performer formerly known as Leemann Bassey has been enjoying unprecedented success. Inspired by the sermons of Bishop T.D. Jakes, HITA is a neo-soul, r&b artist with a Christian message. His single, “Boom (Remastered)” hit #1 on the Christian iTunes charts in South Africa, followed by a #1 Jazz iTunes single, “Sometimes/I Want You Around.” In addition to the #1 sales chart positions, HITA is fast approaching 200K Spotify streams across his catalog…a pretty impressive feat to pull off in less than one year.

Now, HeIsTheArtist is surprising fans with a completely different release for his new single. “Snake Charmer” is a chilled-out, Egyptian-infused instrumental EDM track that no one saw coming. Released on January 12, 2021, this stand-alone single release will set the tone for upcoming middle eastern-inspired Christian music from HeIsTheArtist.
