What does it really take to make it as a young female artist in Zimbabwe?

In this episode of With Nyasha Michelle, Nyasha sits down with Zimbabwean singer, songwriter and producer Kyla Blac for an honest conversation about music, ambition, resilience and navigating the industry as a woman. 🎙️🇿🇼

Kyla takes us back to the beginning of her journey — from growing up surrounded by music and discovering the musical talent within her own family, to making the decision to seriously pursue a career as an artist.

She opens up about the moment her dad gave her one year to make music work, only for COVID to hit, and why she was still determined to take every opportunity that came her way. ❤️🇿🇼
