Zubi d'Nova

WHO IS ZUBI D'NOVA? With velvet vocals expressing deep emotions, Zubi d'Nova creates reflective music for the seeking soul. True to the moment, her music consists of thoughtful lyrics that express her current feelings to the best of her capability, combined with melodies that "just feel right". Due to her instinctive method of working, every song is treated differently and has a different style. Just like with people, she believes in respectfully giving each song its own bespoke treatment that is appropriate for the situation. She is currently based in the Netherlands, but will be moving back to her home in Kenya soon. As an independent artist, she is responsible for the writing and vocals of her songs, the filming of most of her videos, the marketing, as well as the management of her pages! She is also known for being very down-to-earth and keeping a close bond with her fans. WHO WAS MELLOW DEE? When Zubi was younger, her music had more of a pop/RnB sound to it, but still retained a maturity well beyond her years. A lover of writing since the tender age of 7 years, she started writing songs with the aim of one day writing for famous popstars such as Britney Spears. Her secret dream was to sing herself, but she always found herself too ugly and terrible at singing to do so. A little girl's dream turned into reality at age 14, when she launched a mini-career as ''Mellow Dee'' in Kenya. Having done collaborations with Rigga, Redsan, Vini Banton, Jaymoe, Pentamony, Syd, and other Kenyan stars, as well as lots of press coverage and a music video being played in all of East Africa, "Mellow Dee" was said to be a force to be reckoned with. After winning Miss India Kenya 2004 and Zee Teen Queen - Kenya Chapter, she continued to work on her music, but gave more time, energy and effort to her education. Life has it's way of changing paths. Personal circumstances changed, and she had to leave Kenya. She returned to Kenya a while later, but music seemed to be something that wasn't meant to be for that period in her life, and she stopped recording for many years. Now, almost a decade later Mellow Dee has returned, this time as the more matured, mellowed, and deeper Zubi d'Nova, whose name, crudely translated, means ''Rise Again''.
