ZAKIA GOES INTERNATIONAL WITH "TOO LATE"

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.

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.

With such a background, it was expected that Miss Kunge will soon glow in Ghana media as a viable tool for transformation.

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.
