Makeida was born to a Greek mother and Nigerian father in London, England on October 16th 1985 and was raised along with her eleven brothers and sisters in East London. Born Makeida Ezekiel, she was named after the ancient African Queen of Sheba who was called Makeida.
Makeida's debut album entitled "New Day" was released under her label, Musichild Entertainment in June 2006. It features the international top selling singles "Strong Brother" which is a remake of the 'Lean wit it' track by the Franchiz boyz.
Makeida has performed alongside some of the music industry's leading artists including; T.I, Ludicrous, Young Jeezy, Jodeci, Sisqo, H- TOWN, Dru Hill, Paul Wall, Terri Walker and many others.
Makeida has also performed at large events like Sweet Aurban Springfest (Atlanta, USA), Glastonbury, Burgess Park, Notting Hill Carnival, Royal Festival Hall, the Hip Hop Summit Tour (Atlanta, GA) and in various countries from the UK, Europe and America.
Makeida has also provided professional backing vocals for Groove Armada, West Life, London Community Gospel Choir (LCGC), Shola Ama, and many other high quality artists.
Today Makeida continues to rise from the underground rapidly with over 1,688,000 profile views on MySpace and an email membership list that spans 52,326, Makeida is quickly moving into the mainstream music industry. Makeida recently had a feature in Billboard Magazine (USA) and Rolling out Magazine (USA).
Makeida's hot new single "He Got It" received a staggering 400,000 plays in the first two weeks of launch!
Since January 2008, Makeida has performed at over 47 gigs around the UK and at a high profile international festival in Atlanta, USA.
Today, Makeida's popularity is souring rapidly and as a result Makeida can often be found performing three gigs a night and or on being interviewed for popular magazines, newspapers and radio stations.
Makeida's album "Unleashed" includes the smash hit "He Got It" and the R&B hit "Sugar Love" - release set for Winter 2008.
