Venom

by Shola Aurora

Hello, my name is Shola Aurora. I'm a Brooklyn based rock musician and my newest track "Venom," is deeply personal to me. It's a song about triumphing over great adversity. As the world is in a state of chaos, my song is a declaration that we will persevere, survive, and become stronger as a result.
