Ladies and Gents meet Princess a.k.a Ms Confidence.
Her music career started years back while still based in Kigali, Rwanda where she started out as a back up singer for bands back in Kigali.” However back then it was a bit hard as the bands didn’t have enough machines and music instruments to back us but we still persisted with the situation at hand because we loved making records anyway’ explains the shouty Princess. It is while still in Kigali that she hooked up with a one producer JP who was also her first boyfriend at the time to record her first single, however later her boyfriend recorded a song for a rival female recording artist which instantly became an overnight hit, a misunderstanding was to later occur an issue which caused the artist to relocate to Nairobi, Kenya to find her feet again.
While in Nairobi she seldom kept in the “hood” mainly keeping the company of the Ogopa Deejays. So one day when Big pin (respected veteran Kenyan recording artist) found her rehearsing in the studio he liked her style and decided that they record a duet together. The result was a song titled “Usiwaste” my time which would later become a major hit on the Nairobi club circuit. Princess was by now concentrating on a solo career alongside pushing a modeling career as a magazine cover girl in Nairobi.
She’s currently riding high with another vigorous chart buster titled Move ya’ Body as song whose video is already doing rounds by numerous Ugandan radio stations such as; Record television and NBS television. Produced by veteran producers such as the Ogopa videos outfit as well as producer Didi and have over the years been favorites in Nairobi and Kigali, Rwanda. Princess confesses to being a versatile type of artist who can easily record many musical styles such as R’n’b, dancehall and Hip-hop and indeed listening to her CD proved that she’s lyrically in the heavyweight category thanks to her seamless flow style. The former model confesses to being extremely fashionably conscious with a particular love for brand labels especially Gucci” yeah I am down for Gucci pants, tank tops, boots, bags and belts” says the much friendly princess.
Her songs have also numerously featured on East African radio and television, Rwanda based Flash FM, KFM, Nairobi’s based Homeboys Radio, Citizen FM, Kiss FM and the Hot 100 FM in Kampala. Her new track Move ya’ Body is recorded in a danceable afro-bongo like style guaranteed to go down well with the region thanks to her lucid Swahili rap and happy go lucky lyrics that are further blessed with an evident danceable beat. She’s performed in places like; Kenya, Rwanda, Amsterdam, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, France, SouthAfrica and in Uganda she’s performed at the annual new year’s bash at the Sheraton hotel as well at the swanky Theatre La-Bonita.” I am hoping to push on my career professionally and am currently happy to be in touch with one of Uganda’s top club deejays, dj Vito who’s also doubling as my manager right now. She’s also currently recorded a new collabo with The 2 d’s (Didi and Diamond Oscar) titled “Tunawabamba”. A former Rwandese Tennis champion, Princess is also an accomplished professional swimmer with a diploma in swimming and diving, a qualification she acquired at the Red Sea swimming school in Israel. Princess is also grateful to her Belgium based parents for constantly supporting her career. For now, if you don’t find princess at a recording studio, you’ll probably find her getting ready for a stage performance or sharing a loud conversation with friends at a party or her favorite nightspot.
