ZAKIA GOES INTERNATIONAL WITH "TOO LATE"

Some years back, it would have been very unbelievable if anybody had mentioned that Zakia Kunge was not going to shine brighter than the stars of heaven after she won the "Miss Agrrey 2004" at Aggrey Memorial Secondary school in Cape Coast. Zakia, as she is known to her fans has for ages portrayed her love for entertainment on many platforms, and many observers had pointed out her shinning future even before this day.

From her days at Green Hill, Brafo Yaw where she attended Aggrey Memorial secondary school, Zakia had always had the burning desire to unleash her talents to the world at large at the least opportunity avialable. She join the writers, debators and drama club of the school where she did exceptionally well to as a major actress in the group, succeeding great actresses like Aisha Keita, Rashidat Kidiri, and Rhoda Acquah. Zakia, took over the mantle as a leading actress and later became the most prolific actress in 2003 and 2004 in the school. It was easy for anyone to admit that Zakia Kunge was an exact clone of Celine Dion, when she did her karaoke debut, performing songs of Celine Dion in a very unique fashion. She became popular in the Central and Greater Accra region as the Ghana Celine Dion and best vocalist  after representing the school at the Fanta Fiesta held in Accra somewhere in 2005. Obviously, one could imagine what kind of future was ahead of her in the Ghana music industry if she keeps her fire burning.

Very little was heard of a Zakia in recent years as she had left the country to further her education at the Peoples Friendship University in Moscow, Russia. And like a Tiger whose stripes never gets washed away by the rains, Zakia never became an infidel to her long born passion, but rather focused on building her future around it. She mounted stages with her karaoke  and got in the spotlight in Russia. Upon her return to Ghana, She participated in modeling contests where she caught the eye of several modeling agencies as one of the best models that the country can boast of. Appearing on many platforms and giving of the best of her performances which were undoubtedly a feast to all eyes. With such a background, it was expected that Miss Kunge will soon glow in Ghana media as a viable tool for transformation.

Though Zakia has many singles to her credit, it is well to say that her new single "Too Late" is what will officially break the shell and see her fly amongst the likes of Efya Awindor and Becca. With passion and affection etched  on her vocal box, listeners can feel the message in her heart and reflect on the purpose of music in the life of man. Zakia introduces a rare style of neo-soul music with a Russian touch and an Afrikan conscousness which sets her apart from her peers and competitors.While her adorable slender body naturally nominates her for a Miss Heaven beauty award, it is hopeful that she will soon gain recognition in entertainment as far as the continent is concerned. Too Late is now popular in parts of Russia, and gradually taking seat in the ears of Ghanaian soul music lovers.
