"'Hold On' is dedicated to a few specific people in my life who have been sidetracked by unexpected illnesses and unwanted circumstances. I wanted to write a song that could embolden them and give them the courage and ammunition to make it to the other side of their setbacks." "I hope this song is an inspiration, and reminds people that they are bigger than the box that tries to keep them contained" says Ike.

Polished and precise, yet buoyed with an airy grace, on Bigger Than Your Boxthe Nigerian-American, Philadelphia, PA-based Ike paints with a broad palette that defies easy categorization. At turns soaring and plaintive, draped around a voice all dusky suede, the record is as warm and beautiful as the lovely tape hiss on an old jazz record. Fiery, free, and immediately arresting, Ike possesses a powerful instrument which she wields with humble virtuosity. Bigger Than Your Box is joyously defiant, standing proud and wrapped in blasts of exotic color.
