    S4: EP 10 | Ariel Wayz - 'Love & Lust' Made Me Stronger

    Rwandese singer-songwriter Ariel Wayz started singing at the age of four, explains why she’s got an old soul and such a mature voice for someone born in 2000. She is the fifth child in a family of eight and somehow being a middle child exposed her to many responsibilities at a young age. Her mother sung in Rwanda’s Orchestre Ingeri during the 1990s. This, studying music at Nyundo School of Music and a host of other inspiring women in music lead her to not only take a career in music but be bold while at it.
    In this interview, she talks about what inspired her bold debut in the EP ‘Love & Lust’, working with various artists and producers including Umoja Sounds, Ayo Rash, Prince Kizz and Bob Pro. We also talk about crazy things her fans do and how she took back her power after being body-shamed after a nude EP cover. Ariel Wayz is currently working on the release of her debut album, I can’t wait.

    Angela Mwandanda is a Kenyan professional actor, singer and voice-over artist who began performing 20 years ago. As an actor, Angela has featured on TV shows, and several stage musicals. At 19, Angela attended her first audition at the then Phoenix Players, East Africa's most reputable theatre that nurtured a lot of raw talent in those days.

    In this interview, she recalls becoming famous at a young age, a period when Tatuu was dancing back up for Nameless, and how the young girls navigated the industry forming a life-long sisterhood and camaraderie, even though their group is now defunct.
