  • Bio

    Some would describe Enric as an ordinary Rwandan immigrant attending school in Portland Oregon, but his friends, fans and fellow countrymen would describe this soft-spoken young man as anything but ordinary, especially in the realm of making music and stage performance. Enric's unique musical giftedness has been forged through some amazingly dire circumstances that would drown the rest of us in despair. Providence had something else in mind for Enric however, and today Enric is known for his inspirational lyrics, creative melodies and energetic performances that can lead the most cynical soul to a place of love and hope. Rwandan born Eric Nshimiyumuremyi (now Enric Sifa) was orphaned by the tragic events of the 1994 genocide and its devastating impact to his country. At age nine he began to live on the streets, trying to find any way to survive. He struggled daily to get food and shelter, suffering from loneliness, abuse and hunger. On a Saturday night in 2000 (after living on the street for 6 years), Enric was severely beaten in a nightclub. That night as he lay awake in pain, he felt so miserable because he had no one to help treat his wounds. He heard a voice telling him not to return to that life. The next Sunday morning he wandered into a church. In that church, he found his passion again in music. This music was free, and the people treated him well. Enric's heart began to feel hope for the first time so he gave his heart to God. At 14 years old Enric began writing music. Today, Enric has released three albums in the US and he has got a few hits on Rwandan radios. He writes his songs in both the Kinyarwanda and English language. Along with music, Enric attends Warner Pacific College in Portland, Oregon. He has appeared on Rwandan TV and radio, performed for government dignitaries, including the president of Rwanda, and toured three times in the United States with the music group, Hindurwa – including being involved with Louis Palau in crusades. Enric's dream is to travel the world and speak about how people can make the world shine by loving each other, and sing to people about God's power to change anyone from the most hopeless circumstances.
