Libianca
Born in Minneapolis and raised in Bamenda, Libianca conquered the planet with "People", the first title of a Cameroonian artist to enter the Billboard Hot 100.
Libianca Kenzonkinboum Fonji was born on July 23, 2000 in Minneapolis, USA. At four years old, she moved to Bamenda, Cameroon, before returning to Minnesota at thirteen years old — a dual culture that nourished her bilingual Afro-soul.
Revealed by the 21st season of The Voice USA (2021), she was a member of Blake Shelton's team and was a member of 5K Records and Sony in 2022. On 5 December 2022, "People" became a global phenomenon: number one in the Netherlands, number two in the UK, Ireland and New Zealand, number two in Billboard's Afrobeats ranking, Platinum certified by the RIAA and diamond by the SNEP — and first entry of a Cameroonian artist to Billboard Hot 100.
BET Award for the best new international artist in 2023, first part of Alicia Keys that year, EP "Walk Away" in December 2023: Libianca has been pursuing from a singular trajectory, between major scenes and intimate sessions like his "Therapy Sessions".
