*************************************************How does one talks about oneself? I suck at that, i make songs, that 's what I do... I had the pleasure to find quotes about me, on the net, I guess people who heard us will describe better.. if description must be made absolutely ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
iyaDedE is a voice that is at once both delicate and powerful, her style uncategorizable, her talent unrefutable.
a survivor of Rwanda's 1994 Genocide, iyaDede has overcome pain, trauma and incredible loss and has emerged with an inspirational strength and spirit. after leaving Rwanda, she lived in Belgium [where she awesomely sang back-up for the incredible Zap Mama, and then ultimately in the US where she currently resides in Brooklyn. her passion and love for her home country and continent is evident in her words and i am so proud she is representing with such soul, beauty, grace, funk, and fire.
her forthcoming album is entitled Talking to God and is an eclectic mix of electronic pop funkadelic hotness. this woman's star is rising and i cannot wait to see what happens in the coming months. in the coming years. from (NEGRITA's CHRONICLES) ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Every now and then a new artist catches your eye (er, ear?) and you know its something special. World, meet iyaDedE, straight from Rwanda by way of Europe currently repping Brooklyn from (OKAYPLAYER) //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Brooklyn transplant Iyadede has a type of sound that, while has been gaining in popularity over the past few years, is a sound all her own. The native Rwandan can count fleeing to Belgium from her home country's genocide as an indefinite influence, as well as being soothed by the sounds coming from the Rwandan National Radio station where her mother worked as a DJ when Iyadede was still in her belly. These two contrasting poles give her a sound that is at once a bit Synth Pop and a bit Soul, and everything else you may want it to be. from (SOULBOUNCE) //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
African singer Iyadede (real name Iyadede Sabrina) is a new favorite of mine. Born and raised in Rwanda until the genocide forced her family to move to Belgium, Iyadede has now brought her mixture of traditional rwandese/ jazz/hip-hop/electronica/French culture/rock style to NYC. She sings in three languages, French, English and Kinyarwanda, sometimes all in the same song… She has toured with Zap Mama and cites Zap, Bob Marley, Bjork, Neneh Cherry and Sarah Vaughn as her influences. from (JANEE BOLDEN FUX WIT IT) ////////////////////////////Thank you for your kind words :)
