tshila

Tshila is a multi-dimensional, multi-faceted artist with a lot to express about the African situation. She is soul, hip-hop, spoken word poetry, modern, traditional, but most of all, African! She represents African-ness from a new and modern angle -introducing the world to a new genre of music called FIRIKA.

Tshila was only making music for 6 months when she was first invited to play at the Zanzibar International Film Festival in August 2006. She was compared to singing legend Tracy Chapman, and was featured in the Ugandan, Kenyan, and Tanzanian press following that performance. She was also immediately invited to play in Senegal where she consequently received airplay on Wal-Fajri Radio, the biggest radio station in Dakar.

Since then, she has not looked back. She went ahead to record her first album, in 2006, called “Sippin’ from the Nile”, which is soon to be launched in Kampala, Uganda. This album was featured on BBC Radio Africa on 10th July 2007 and is currently getting airplay on stations like East Africa Radio in Dar-es-Salaam, Touch Fm in Kampala and Capital Fm in Nairobi.Tshila was also featured in World Pulse Magazine for being an influential lady in terms of contributing to society not just through music but through community influence.For more information on this diverse artist please visit her website www.tshila.com
