Brazy is a vibe, there’s not much to say. Meet her and you’ll get what I mean.
Was there a particular song growing up that made you want to make music?
Not really you know. My family love listening to music though, there was never silence in my house. I used to do rap battles with my mum… she would rap Mary J Blige and I’ll rap Nicki Minaj. Who would’ve thought I would end up making music of my own.

Funnily, I wouldn’t say I’m an “Alte scene girl”. The “Alte” movement is family, but I’m Afro-Sexy.
Does culture matter in your music, style and overall persona?
Culture is everything. My Nigerian culture is the stand out in my music, style and personality for sure… you have the heavy Yoruba influence in the music and dance as well the confidence in how I dress and present myself. The places I travel to and other cultures I experience also have a huge influence, I’m constantly learning and evolving my swag.
Your Instagram bio says “Afro sexy, Afro future” What does that mean/stand for?
Literally what it says. I’m African, the music is sexy, the listeners are sexy, the movement is sexy. And it’s the future because you’ve never heard anything like it before but soon it’s all you’ll be hearing… not ahead of it’s time, but creating the time.
