She announced her arrival in the music industry recently after posting her profile on social media networks Facebook and Twitter. This Canada-based Rwandan upcoming songstress, Neza Da Songbird is taking the music scene by storm.
She has taken the meaning of her name Neza - loosely translated into English as good or nice, and made it an apparent ideal in her life and the focus of her music.
The singer endeavors to be the hardworking, talented and kind young woman. With this background, Neza who is fluent in four languages (French, Lingala, Kinyarwanda and English) hopes to conquer the music scene.
Her R&B, pop, dance and afro infused music, which binds her own story and passion, is what distinguishes her from other female artistes. With her music, Neza intends to touch the hearts of those who have also experienced rough times.
"I want to show people that dreams actually do come true. Over the years, my voice has evolved with the instruction of Melanie Fiona’s vocal coach, Falconer Abraham,” says Neza.
"Working with some of Toronto’s most talented and versatile producers, such as Emerson Brooks, Mark James, Nyasha, and Snaz, I am now able to discover a sound that I can call my own.”
Neza has graced audiences at shows, such as Afro Fest, Love Always R&B, Rwanda Day (Chicago), Afroculture: Le Festival des Cultures, Miss Black Ontario, Go Hard or Go Home, and FKZO Festival.
She performed at The Sound Academy, with award-winning Creole Kompa band from Haiti, Carimi, and the queen of Zouk Princess Lover. She has also shared the stage with Canadian artiste, Kardinal Offishall, among others.
Neza recently earned herself the 2012 award for Best Female Artist at the African Entertainment Awards. Her interactive heartfelt performances keep onlookers entertained and appreciative for a taste of the culture, experience, and sound she offers.
The singer is on her journey to discovering what life and music has to offer her.
Her motto is: "Life is a song – sing it. Life is a game – play it. Life is a challenge – meet it. Life is a dream – realize it. Life is a sacrifice – offer it. Life is love – enjoy it”. Ideally, her music will continue to lead her places she dreams of going and she hopes that fans will follow.
