FME 2024 | Erika Zarya Sings and Raps Since Childhood

Interview by Alain Brunet
Genres and styles : Hip Hop / Keb Rap

Additional Information

Érika Zarya has been rapping and singing since her childhood in Quebec City’s Lower Town. She takes things seriously, betting heavily on the quality of her beatmaking, and seems to aim for a balance between soulful pop and more direct hip-hop. She writes in both official languages, interweaving them in her flow, like the vast majority of the rap and R&B scene. In short, she’s aiming to make her mark in the same way as Vincent des Louanges, Rose and Félix de Rau Ze. Visiting the FME as part of the huge rap keb evening on Friday, she granted PAN M 360 an interview in the hubbub of the dressing rooms.
