Listen HERE!

Oba Bonner, of the Bonner Family fame, has a new track out. And it is a “must-listen!”

And, believe it or not, Latter-day Saint NBA star Jabari Parker is a key figure in the video!

The two are friends, and Oba, a returned missionary, feels the song not only describes what Jabari does on the basketball court, it also describes what happens in each of our individual lives.

β€œI’m a rapper and I can still be a returned missionary.”

β€œA lot of people might think they have to choose. People might feel like maybe they can’t be themselves but the truth is you can; you can be all of those things and still be a faithful Latter-day Saint. Jabari and I, we share the gospel through what we do, just by living the gospel.”

Oba also shares…

I’m a part of a musical family. My mom is the reason for that.

My mother, Debra Bonner, has been a voice teacher for over 40 years and was an associate of Michael Jackson’s voice teacher for over 20 years.

My family, The Bonner Family (whom I sing with), were featured in the live global β€œBe One” celebration which can be viewed on Youtube and Facebook. Also individuals from the family are featured on various musical projects including EFY, and Broadway.

My up-and-coming music video release to my single, β€œHustlin’” is about Jabari Parker’s road to success and about chasing your dreams.

It wasn’t long after I was born that I realized a music career was what I wanted. For years I begged my parents to let me move to LA in pursuit of a music career and they finally said yes. I soon realized that I had to grind and make things happen for himself.

I was fortunate enough to make some connections early on and found himself becoming a studio rat! After school I would head to the studio and learn from Grammy award-winning producers and songwriters who have worked with Katy Perry, Ariana Grande, Rihanna, and more. Because of the people I met and skills I learned, I currently works with artists such as Brandy and Queen Latifah on their live shows as a programmer.

For my senior year, I moved back to Utah and graduated in the city of Provo. As a 2013 graduate of Timpview High School, this is my biggest collaboration to date.

This is also the first single from my debut EP.
