Mishasha, the Nigerian/UK-based Afrobeats and fusion singer-songwriter, has returned with her infectious new single ‘Shayo’, a track that promises to lift spirits and set dance floors ablaze.
Born Mishasha Jacob, the artist has been building a reputation for her honey-glazed voice, heartfelt lyrics, and a style that bridges continents.
Growing up in a musically inclined family, where every sibling was encouraged to master an instrument, Mishasha gravitated toward the flute and piano.
Her earliest performances were in church, where her sisters handled instruments while she sang, sharpening her voice and confidence.
By age 14, she had already joined the choir, carving out the foundations of her artistry.
Mishasha’s sound is deeply shaped by her African roots and classical influences, creating a rich blend of emotion, rhythm, and movement.
Since her breakthrough with ‘Pretty and Dangerous’ in 2020, she has continued to prove her versatility and staying power.
Beyond music, she is also a nutritionist and social entrepreneur, founding the Spotlight Foundation to help street children gain access to education in Accra, Ghana.
This duality balancing artistry with social impact makes Mishasha a rare and powerful voice.
Her latest single ‘Shayo’ captures the spirit of celebration.
With a title that nods to the Nigerian slang for ‘drinks’ or ‘toasting’, the track is more than just a party anthem.
It’s about savoring life, finding joy in the moment, and raising a glass to resilience.
Layered with lush Afrobeats rhythms and her smooth vocal delivery, ‘Shayo’ is both a mood-lifter and a reminder to cherish happiness even in challenging times.
With ‘Shayo’, Mishasha once again proves she is not just a singer but a storyteller and a force, weaving music, passion, and purpose into every note.
