Kenyan Music Welcomes Another Female Star: Shy Musiq is Taking Over
The Kenyan music scene is witnessing the rise of a new female powerhouse—Shy Musiq. With her unique blend of Afrofusion, AfroPop, RnB, and Afrobeat, the Kenyan-Canadian singer-songwriter is making waves both locally and internationally.
Shy Musiq is no stranger to big stages. She has performed alongside global superstars like Beenie Man, Alkaline, and Diamond Platnumz, proving her ability to hold her own among industry heavyweights. Her music, deeply influenced by her Kenyan roots and life as an immigrant in Canada, brings a fresh and diverse sound to the African music scene.
Her growing discography speaks volumes. Tracks like “Pull Up” (2018), “Kenyan Girl” (2021) ft. Colonel Mustafa, and “Coco” (2023) have earned her thousands of streams, with her latest project, “Pieces of Paradise” (2024), further solidifying her place as one of Kenya’s most exciting new artists. Beyond music, Shy Musiq is a creative force—featured on covers of The Standard and Pulse Media, and known for her eye-catching style curated by HooksnLooks.
With the Kenyan music industry embracing more female talent, Shy Musiq is stepping up as a rising star who is here to stay. Her journey is just beginning, and as her sound continues to grow, she’s proving that she’s not just another artist—she’s a movement.
