Riverlife’s Sounds on the Shore concert series takes place every Thursday evening throughout the summer on Shore Thing – a floating platform anchored just off Allegheny Landing on Pittsburgh’s North Shore, nestled between the iconic Sister Bridges. Mani Bahia (Mah-Knee Bye-Eee-Yuh) is an American artist, musician, dj, producer, singer-songwriter, and performer from Pittsburgh. In late 2018, Mani dropped her first project, “Solstice,” featuring a collection of original acoustic tracks recorded outdoors with raw vocals describing her thoughts, reflections, and feelings of the times surrounding her. Bahia performed a spoken word piece for Academy Award Winner Denzel Washington, nestled under his arm outside of August Wilson’s childhood home in Pittsburgh’s Hill District the same year. Mani Bahia’s second project titled “Inferno” was released in early October of 2022. “Inferno” is majority produced, arranged, and written by Mani Bahia, but holds a few surprise production credits. You can find Bilal Abbey’s co-produced track titled “FRIZZ,” and on “LINK,” you can hear the bass of Benji from Spillage Village. Bahia’s “Inferno” will give the listener a taste of varied genres such as Alt R&B, Hip-Hop, Funk, House, and Soul. The genre-bending “Inferno” is a full-bodied artistic work that expresses the grit, vulnerability, and devoted integrity Bahia has to her craft, but also the journey to finding her footing in a world where music and art are her anchor.
