Ronisia 15

Don't look any further for the new figure of the French Urban Pop, because she's here and there's no doubt that you have already met her. Originally from Cape Verde, Ronisia grew up in the Paris region, 91 department in Grigny, before getting into music 2 years ago and we can say that she made the right choice. New muse of the Urban Pop, with a feminine touch, her songs keep on getting more and more popular from "Plus De Peine" (No More Pain) to the hit "Atterrissage" (Landing) that helped her win her first Golden single last April. A real turning point in her career, she talks about this event in this open hearted interview. Thanks to her frankness, appreciation and her willingness to embrace all the great opportunities that are open to her in the music industry, the bubbly Ronisia has everything it takes to be a true and passionate artist. With her unique and distinguishable voice, she tells A Rap & A Cup Of Tea about her beginnings and especially about her first album scheduled for release in 2021. Ronisia has everything to please and we are sure that she will not fail to seduce you.

I want to know everything about your career, how did you end up with Sony Epic Records? It happened on social media. Pauline Duarte, the label's director, contacted me through social media and said that she liked what I was doing and that she wanted to meet with my team and from there, it all happened. Do you think it was easier to have a female director too, and that she was able to better understand your artistic choices? I can't speak for my team, but for me, yes, I think I felt more comfortable. I can't say if it's because she's a woman or if it's because we're both from Cape Verde, but I immediately felt more comfortable with her, I had a good feeling. Has the fact of signing with a label changed a lot for you? Yes, of course it changes a lot of things, but my team and I had already been working hard before signing anything. We had already worked on my identity and my career. But it's true that now, it's easier, more doors are open to us. Mainly in terms of promotion, media, etc. They have connections that we didn't necessarily have.
