Ronisia Mendes Morges was born on 13 November 1999 in Tarrafal, Cape Verde; her family moved to Grigny, Essonne, when she was one year old. Influenced by Rihanna, Alicia Keys, Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé, she published her first song "More Sorry" at 19 years old, then drilled in 2020 with "Landing", which became viral on TikTok, which opened the doors of Epic Records France.

Her first album, "Ronisia" (28 Jan. 2022), was fifth in the French charts and was certified as a gold record on 22 Sept. 2022; he brought together Ninho, Eva and Tiakola, then Gazo and CKay in his reissue. Appointed to the BET Awards 2021, she won the Flame of Women's Revelation in 2023 and released her second album, "Era 24".

In 2024, she filled the Zenith of Paris. Her title "Nha Terra", sung in Cap-Verdien Creole, became an anthem for the diaspora. In 2025, her single "Fan" and her cover "Future of Music" by Rolling Stone Africa confirmed her status as a major voice of Afro-Caribbean Francophone pop.
