Nandy is a Tanzanian musician and songwriter of Pare descent who was born and reared in the Kilimanjaro Region’s city of Moshi. In 2017 and 2020, she won the All Africa Music Awards for best female performer in East Africa.

Her musical career began when a mutual acquaintance connected her to Ruge Mutahaba, CEO of Tanzania House of Talent (THT). This is where she met Emma the Boy, who produced Nagusagusa, her first major track.
