Journey
Xtatic, born Gloria Edna Mecheo Nyabange in Nairobi, Kenya, is a Kenyan rapper, singer, songwriter, and performer known for her bold lyrical style and unique blend of hip-hop and R&B. She developed an interest in music and poetry at a young age and started recording songs while still in high school. Her passion for storytelling and rap helped her create a strong identity in the East African music scene.
Xtatic first gained public recognition in 2011 with her song “The Prep Track,” which attracted attention across Africa because of its originality and lyrical confidence. The success of the song led to her signing a multi-album recording and management deal with Sony Music Entertainment Africa and Rockstar4000 in 2012. At only 21 years old, she became one of the first Kenyan female rappers to receive such international recognition.
She later released songs such as “Wild!” and “Hit Em Up,” working closely with producers The Fahrenheitz. Xtatic also collaborated with artists including AKA, Femi One, STL, Vanessa Mdee, and Kwesta. Despite her growing popularity, her career faced challenges due to delays in releasing her debut album under Sony Music.
In 2017, Xtatic left Sony Music and signed with Silopanna Records to continue her career independently. She remains respected for representing female African hip-hop artists and encouraging creativity, confidence, and female empowerment through her music
