Their story

After fifteen years in opera choruses and supporting roles between Lagos and London, she began writing her own songs in 2023. Her first single 'Second Curtain' went round the station quickly and led to the album 'Late Entrance'. She brings cabaret drama and tango strings to operatic pop and is still building her audience.

Influences: Verismo opera arias, cabaret, tango nuevo, West African highlife melodies
