"Much like Donald Glover did with his Childish Gambino alter-ego, Titus Makin is revitalising classic soul and funk for the modern age as Butterfly Ali." - RECORD OF THE DAY
With his previously shared singles ‘Pray For ‘Em’, ‘Testimony’ and ‘Truth Is’ gathering huge support from the likes of American Songwriter, EARMILK, The Independent, WONDERLAND, WordPlay Magazine, RECORD OF THE DAY, Grit Daily, ATWOOD MAGAZINE, Spindle, YUCK MAGAZINE and much more in recent months, fast-rising artist Butterfly Ali has now released his eagerly-awaited debut EP ‘Preacher’s Kid’ alongside the energetic new single ‘Ain’t Ready For Me’.
With so much buzz and acclaim moving his way, ‘Preacher’s Kid’ shows itself as a fresh and soul-enriched collection that perfectly illustrates the bright and euphoric sound he has been cultivating for himself this past year. The collection’s final single ‘Ain’t Ready For Me’ marks this occasion perfectly. A bold and soaring return that showcases some of his most potent energy, wrapped up in a warm and bouncing production that will keep your toes tapping from start to finish.
Speaking about the new song, he said, "'Ain’t Ready For Me' is a feel good, any time of the year, song. Got to create and co-write this song with the awesome writer and producer Gabriel Benjamin, and producers “The Fund”. I wanted to write this song as a reminder to everyone and myself that we have a lot to offer. Self motivation to keep shining despite hate. Rather it be in our profession, romantic relationships, or personal growth. If you feel like an outcast or different then the people around you, it’s a lot of the time not you. They’re just “not ready” for all that you are and you just need to keep being the best you, you know how to be, and let them catch up. We can’t lower our greatness just to “fit in”. The world will catch up eventually."

Having already made a name for himself as a renowned actor after appearing in recurring roles for hit TV shows such as Pretty Little Liars, The Rookie and Glee, vocalist and songwriter Titus Makin aka Butterfly Ali has also been making a huge impression on the music scene of late.
Graduating from the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts, Titus relocated to Los Angeles to pursue his acting and musical career on a professional level.
Titus has worked with multiple music and acting industry professionals due to his time on Fox's hit show Glee and tour engagements related to Glee: Live. The frontman has also starred in CW's Star-Crossed and hit shows such as Pretty Little Liars, Grey's Anatomy, Hulu's The Path, among others, and is currently playing the character Jackson West on ABC's The Rookie.
As an artist, Butterfly Ali (Titus) cites Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Pharrell Williams, Cee Lo Green, Bill Withers and Andre 3000 as some of his musical inspirations. His sound has been described as mainstream soul, coupled with funk and pop undertones and has written with and been produced by some of the industry's top producers including New Beat Fund, Jake Scott, Aaron Kellim and David Hodges (Evanescence, Christina Perri, Kelly Clarkson).
Raised in a military household of all jazz, funk, soul and blues music, it is Butterfly Ali's goal to keep the oldies alive and relevant. There's no doubt that he is a rising, multi-skilled artist to watch closely in 2021.
