“I have been singing since I was very young,” she said, adding that at19 she joined a rap group through which she discovered herself the more. “Later I made my own single to test my talent,” she explained.

The young Banjul female musician told Entertainment that she is yet to release her first album but has two singles up her sleeve, which are in their prime on air.

Commenting on the music industry in The Gambia, the Banjul born promising musician called on all people to support Gambian music in all aspects, emphasising that Gambian music is presently dominated by Senegalese music in the market.

Gambian musicians need help, she says. Musicians are mostly supported by President Jammeh whom she said cannot do it all alone.
