FOMO - Ezra Phoenix

Warning:  Explicit Lyrics 

Porirua-based Samoan artist Ezra Phoenix has today released his gorgeous, and fearless, new RnB pop single + video ‘FOMO’

“I’m now writing from a place of fearlessness, seeking to challenge expectations placed on Pacific Island
boys about exploring their sexuality. 

Expectations from family, the church and community, all centre around the heterosexual norm of being masculine and forming relationships with the opposite sex. These expectations leave no room for one to explore and discover their sexuality or express their identity safely and without judgment or being ostracised.

These expectations perpetuate toxic masculinity, increase anxiety and loss of self, and ultimately cause internal suffering for young boys who feel trapped under
these societal pressures within Pacific Island communities.

Sexuality is individual, unique, special, and is
part of our identity.” - Ezra Phoenix
