Habida is a rare find. Not often is beauty, style, poise, artistry and a God given talent to compose and sing, all encompassed within one person. However she has all these elements in place and much more.

Born in Nairobi, Kenya, this twenty something gem has taken the road less traveled to this point in her budding career.

Sometimes, life presents forks in the road. Only the dedicated and determined can converge two disparate pathways into one lane. In her hometown, Habida was involved in a small community-acting troupe for a number of years, which further advanced her love for creativity and acting. So much so, that in 1998, she made the choice to leave the comforts of her home and study drama abroad, in London, at the famed lewisham. While pursuing her dramatic studies, she also found time to model for the internationally renowned African agency, kiko Romeo.

Even though she then found herself with two outlets to channel her energy (modeling and acting), her creativity was boundless and it just didnt seem to be enough. Habidas love for three decades of soul (60-80s) tugged at her spirit. Soon, she found herself trading much needed sleep for extra time writing poetry (which later became the seeds to her self written songs) and taking her singing talent to another level.

As one could surmise, she decided to dedicate her time to the written word as well as song compositions, recording a 6-song demo in the spring of 2003. Not one to be complacent, she searched for a way to couple and excel in her two loves, theatre and music.
