“Music is a huge part of my life and my dream and I am determined to succeed in it with God's guidance, the support and prayers of my people and endless dedication on my part. I never expect things to be handed to me in life, work for what’s yours. I truly am working for my love of music and I will enhance my skills and develop myself as an artist in all ways possible. I pray to God that I may be granted the opportunity to better enhance and develop my skills, I promise when that happens, it will never be regretted.
This proud Gambian queen has a voice that is both unique and beautiful.
With much of her music in the r&b genre, she is open to try new things.
