The young Zimbabwean has arrived to show us that you don’t really have to conform to anyone’s standards but your own. Even though becoming a singer let alone an artist wasn’t on her moodboard yet, W1ZE always knew that she had a special bond to music that allowed her to feel a certain sense of freedom while singing. At the age of 16 she started recording herself on her phone. What started out as curiosity and fun quickly turned into a desire. “One day I’ll reminisce and probably be proud of young Graham for doing that” says the young performer. The dedication seemed to be paying off as she got signed by Sony Music in 2019.
Describing her music as chameleonic might sound mystifying at first but taking a closer look into the artists roots you will quickly realize that owning your identity while giving yourself enough space to be as diverse as possible is very important to W1ZE. With a mix of Zimbabwean, German, Indian and Malaysian her art reflects her identity.
