Quotes Music has always been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. When I was still finding my footing in the industry in my mid-teens, I had a lot of big names in the Tanzanian music scene approach me for collaborations but it wasn’t until last year when I turned 18 that I released my first single I met Sony Music East Africa's rep Christine Mosha and we really hit it off. She liked my energy and vibe and she believes in my talent and craft. Mosha introduced me to the team and It was a 3 month deliberation and eventually we signed a deal! I love Nairobi! The weather here is great, everyone is so vibrant and full of energy. People are kind and gracious. It’s been a great experience so far. That was surreal! I was asleep when she posted a video of me on Instagram. I woke up to a flood of notifications, calls and texts. I am not even a morning person so for me to wake up to that was such a big deal. When I’m not making music I am in uni studying Business and Finance, chilling at the beach or exercising in the gym. I also work with The Talk a mental health programme for youth in Tanzania, Closer with Abigail Chams: KenyaBuzz Exclusive Interview;By Maureen Kasuku on Sep 02, 2022 External links Category:living people Category:Women singers from Tanzania Category:Television presenters Category:2003 births Category:Women born in the 2000s
