ArmstrongWW - Imperfect (Official Video)

ArmstrongWW (WorldWide) is a Cameroonian-born musician based in the city of Houston, Texas. As a strong believer in honest music, Armstrong uses his sound to tell stories from his soul and connect with fans of all backgrounds.The artists who inspire the sound of ArmstrongWW include Kendrick Lamar, Tyler The Creator, Mac Miller, and Chance The Rapper, who are all musicians the 19-year-old artist looks up to. Due to his wide array of influences, the music created by ArmstrongWW often comes out as genreless and inventive.

Imperfect is a ballad that rhythmically combines the alternative ends of Hip-Hop and Indie-Pop to give listeners an inside look into the mind of a young-adult diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

Speaking on the track, ArmstrongWW say’s: I wrote Imperfect after realising how much effort I put into appearing perfect at the cost of my sanity. No one wants to be the person with a mental disorder, so I battled with accepting what I was going through for a long time. Imperfect is a message conveying that although I am not perfect, I have finally come to peace with my struggle and who I am. In the African community, many kids never come to this resolution due to the fear of parents not believing them, so I want to pave a path for the mental health conversation being common in our families using music's power.
