Libianca
The Therapist
Cameroonian- American songstress Libianca started her 2023 with a bang releasing her breakout single ‘People’ and ended the year with a chart climbing musical masterpiece ; her debut EP "Walk Away" in December of 2023. “WALK AWAY is the baggage that I’ve been carrying my whole life because of my fear of being perceived as weak or ‘bad’. A huge part of overcoming that fear was the process of creating this project. It’s my way of accepting me as I am , flaws and all, and reminding anyone willing to listen that they are human and imperfectly perfect and that’s perfectly fine.” , Libianca states preceding the release. The soulful musician has touched on emotional subjects like depression, anxiety and fear of vulnerability all while showing her musical versatility ; incorporating R&B, HipHop, Gospel, Afrobeats and Soul resulting in the unique fusions in her music . In a past year alone, the 24- year old has become the first chart topping Cameroonian artist with platinum in 9 countries including US, UK and Australia, 2X platinum in 3 countries and she’s only getting started.
