Imagine the beautiful safari of Zimbabwe , Africa . The wind blows softly, and the thunderous sound of tribal drums beat rhythmically in the distance. Through the forests walks a beautiful lioness…brazen and strong. Her presence demands the attention of all, you are forced to stop and listen. Such is the case with 20 year old recording artist, Edene'. “I'd like to think of myself as a lioness… warm, strong and determined”, Edene' said after she was asked what best describes her as an artist and individual. And for those who know this articulate young woman know agree with this description. Some say this ambition was instilled by her parents who are equally ambitious, her father being a politician and her mother a fourth grade teacher.
Edene' was born on September 7 th 1986 in Zimbabwe a small country in Southern Africa where she was raised as well. She developed her melodic and addictive sounds from a young age taking part in school plays and musicals, and was also a member of her school and church choirs. Since writing her first song at the age of 13 and performing it, this Zimbabwean beauty has known that she wanted to sing and entertain ever. Edene' is a talented singer/songwriter and co-producer who plans to take the entertainment industry by storm! She teamed up with several producers, namely Derek Duwayne of Y.A.R Entertainment and Charles Jangano of Slay Productions a living musical legend in her native Zimbabwe , to create addictive pop beats like in such songs as “8 Steps” and “If Only”, a story about lost love. When asked about her song writing and the songs on the project Edene' said, “I write from the heart, I follow my emotions and my soul”. All the songs were written by Edene'.
It is hard to believe Edene' has only been in the United states for three short years! Already she is creating a wild buzz around the Dallas music scene, by performing in clubs, talent shows, beauty pageants and local TV appearances as well. Initially coming to the States for college, Edene' could not escape the calling of her true destiny. She is incredibly passionate about her music, and equally as passionate about involving herself in humanitarian work for her native Africa and the rest of the third world. “I want the world to experience my music and to share through music the things that we all go through in life and in relationships. In addition, it is my dream to use my success to raise awareness and help children in third world countries. There is a great need for that.” Her beautiful, sensual voice has been closely compared to that of the infamous, Sade. Edene's demeanor and smile has won her tons of fans! She is like no other female artist out there right now; her style is truly her own. In her words, “It's all about the music, and I love music. Rock, Hip Hop, Jazz, Pop: it doesn't matter, I have no preference. I just love good music." So no matter what you may be in the mood for, Edene's surely got it!
