About
The latest addition to the Alapomeji Crew is an American based import named Zara. Born Margaret-Mary Joseph on July 30, 1985, Zara brings a refreshing mix to the already established entertainment company who houses artists such as 9ice, Ajayi Brothers, Streetwise, Snow and Keyifi. The creativity in her music boasts an understanding and range that is more veteran than debutante. With a combination of afro-themed beats and a caribbean vibe laced with heavy yet playful lyrics, Zara's down-to-earth but confident charisma and charm is what sets her apart from the pack. Her collaboration with Zaina on the monster track "naughty girl" has left many curious about this sweet sounding versatile artist. Zara who is currently being managed by Toni Payne-Akande of Alapomeji has a Z swagger popularly known as Zwagger that can be felt on such tracks as "The Flyest", "Mummy Mi", and "Su mo bi". Listening to Zara leaves you without a doubt that she is the next best female phenomenon to happen to the Naija music industry.
