24-YEAR-OLD Oda Pacy, born Pacifique Uzamberumwana is confident and energetic, two of the many attributes she needs to hold her own in the rap game. The young rapper has written 25 songs and launched two albums so far - Miss President and Umusirimu. Seraphine Habimana had a light chat with her.

Did you have a childhood nickname?

When I was a child, they called me Pacy which came from Pacifique.

What was your childhood dream?

When I was child, I was really into information technology but that later changed. 

What is your favourite food and drink?

I like boiled food, especially meat. I drink mostly water and tea.

Where do you like to hang out in Kigali?

I like to go out with my friends at Camelia Tea House in town.

Any crazy memories from your childhood?

(Laughs) When I was 10 years old in P4, my classmate wrote me a note and put three sweets with Rwf20 inside. 

Your dream guy?

That would be a tall, fair complexioned man who is hard working and respects my career.

What are your mornings like?

I usually wake up at 6am, pray and take a glass of water then shower. I do not take a lot of time in the shower as some women do.

Who do you look up to?

I look up to Riderman in Rwanda and Beyonce on the international scene; she is so talented. 

What is your relationship status?

It is kind of mysterious. I am single but not searching.
