With her warm voice and roots reggae generating a universal flavour that is coloured by her cultural heritage, Empress Deeqa lights up the stage.
Empress Deeqa was born at Mogadiscio, in Somalia. As far back as she can remember, she has always sung, to the point of exhaustion. One day a woman, hearing her voice, asked her to join the children’s choir she led. Her mother agreed willingly, with undisguised pleasure. Empress Deeqa was then five years old. She already dreamed of being a reggae singer.
