 I told you, I told you Aria, today we have amazing talented ladies in the building and the rats was Leika and she's here, we must get out, ya kutua nyoka pangonin paka de jenesh kia kutua Namoratua Ya rasha, ya kua, ay, buwana Inspire a minute in desu kia, so ituka yo kenya buwana Hey! Ya, so we will let the beautiful lady introduce herself, the lady behind the mask Yes, kindly introduce yourself Wagwan My name is Leika Ya, um, I am, what, how do I introduce myself I'm 21 years old and I'm an artist Nice, so why did you decide to have a mask? Because you have a mask here, you have a mask over there We can't see you, we have to see you I'm doing filo, you can't see me Anyway, um, I chose the mask because I was, I have really serious anxiety So niki sumama mbelea watu, it's really crazy for me But it was, you know With such a voice It happens I saw you standing in front of people and you will shake to your knees You can't even speak here With the mask on With the mask on Ya, so that makes you feel so much better Ya, at first it was actually about my anxiety But the more I performed, you know, the more the better it gets So now it became a part of me So I'm just keeping it because it's a part of my brand now But at first it was because I was so scared to look at people Did people know that? Not really, no, they just thought it was fancy and stuff Ya, so you are very new to the music industry How has it been treating you? Pretty well actually, I'm here now, no? It's been nine months, nine months now I'm like a newborn baby I know But it's been amazing It's a roller coaster of emotions up and down You get used to it, you get the hang of it, it gets so much better How would you describe yourself as an artist? What would you say makes you stand out as an artist? First of all, my mask Second of all, my voice I'm not saying I'm better than anybody else But I know I'm not better than anybody else But I also know nobody else is like me So it's like, like I said, I'm unlike anyone else So maybe that's it Alright, so there's something quite interesting about you You've told us what makes you unique But there's something that makes you extra unique So there's this, it's called Simdesia Where an artist sees shapes and colors when they hear music I remember seeing it on Empire When Lucia, I don't know what had happened to him But he got that condition Where he sees shapes and colors when he sings So does that happen to you? Most of the time, yes I don't like talking about it much But it happens It's weird to explain But it happens, it's in my head I'm just like, wow, it happens It's like when you're doing drugs Don't do drugs though, but it's like when you're doing drugs So that is one It's like that for me It's a little, it's hard to explain But it happens When you're just doing your music Or when you just hear any kind of No, mostly when I'm alone And I'm listening to music Especially when I'm hearing new sounds and stuff When I'm listening to a new artist Or I'm listening to like, I'm exposing myself to new music And it's just hit so hard in my head It happens Okay, that's interesting We see you here after a few years So that you can explain it to us more We get to understand it You're just very new Like I said And you're working on your EP In the works Talk to us about that I mean, when a young artist Or rather a new artist Come into the industry Want to say manga I'll just do a single They're afraid to do bigger things Why did you decide to do an EP So soon? I've wanted to do an actual album For a really long time But I had to start releasing singles And stuff like that But right now And in guest studios So that I can actually work on an EP Because I have so many ideas in my head I can just put them in one place It will be amazing for somebody To just actually listen to my actual EP Because I will put my heart and soul into it So I want to work I want to work so much That I want to get an EP So that I can put my work in And put my voice in my heart out there For people to actually feel And listen to So when do you expect That she'll be done with the EP And are the four songs On your YouTube channel part of the EP No they're not Those are singles I want to keep them as they are But I'm working To make sure That by the end of this year I have an actual piece of art That I can share with people So by the end of this year I should have an EP coming That's great What are your expectations As you, you know Get into the industry And be bigger And be greater things Who do you want to work with What kind of stages do you want to perform in Oh my God Tomorrowland Because I've done For people who actually have listened to my music I've done some I listened to a lot of music So I also produced a lot of music So I have done some EDM So that's why I'm talking about Tomorrowland Who I want to work with As for now, here I want to work with Mata Nizhola Queen She's amazing I want to work with Fena I want to work with Femi Wan I want to work with Kinkaka I want to work with Yaba So my dream came true at that time In the song out That she's done with Yaba Yes it is It's on Spotify On his Roomba Ken Alba No no no It's a single But it's on Spotify I'll check it out Please do You might like it actually You might like it I think I will So today we are asking our audience Back at home You are 21 years old I'm sure you just Maybe left high school 3 or 3 years ago 3-4 years ago What is that one thing that Embarrassed you so much That you still remember?
