Chinanu Onuoha is Africaine; the embodiment of the African feminine aura, translated through music. Africaine chose her name after discovering that it signified “African Woman” in French, a perfect description for a singer who is constantly inspired by and pulls influence from Africa.
Born in Connecticut, Africaine spent her summers in Owerri, Nigeria, where she connected to her roots and developed a deep love for Nigerian music and culture. Although she was raised in a Christian Conservative background which saw her listening to primarily gospel music in her early years, her discovery of artists such as Wizkid, Burna Boy and Wande Coal awakened her romance with afrobeats.
Africaine recently released her new single titled “One Chance”. The two-pack single, One Chance, is a prequel to her first Project and was released on the 26th of November. Listen to it here.
