Stefânia Leonel turns 23, establishing herself as one of the emerging voices of Mozambican R&B. Born in the city of Beira and raised in Maputo, her musical journey began at a young age, overcoming her fear of performing and standing out for her talent.
Stefânia's career began with a song inspired by the instrumental of Rihanna's "Diamonds," with arrangements by producer Marcelo, recorded at Friends Studio. She defines herself as a persistent artist, singing for love and seeking to explore diverse rhythms to touch the emotions of her listeners.
Currently, Stefânia is part of the production company MESS, which has led her to collaborate with various artists, such as Viper Toy, Jay Argh, Hacelen, Sir Lovely, Carmen Chaquice, and Rude. Her participation in the track "Good Times," from Sir Lovely's album Diálogos, had a significant impact, moving many listeners.
With the aim of solidifying her place in the Mozambican and PALOP markets, Stefânia is preparing for the release of her first album, Hey Crush, scheduled for December. This project, which will be entirely solo, reflects her desire to explore herself artistically. Produced by Ciro Santana, Mad K, Badjo, Revorev and Prince Chone, the album is a tribute to lovers and promises to touch the hearts of her fans.
The track “Maltratar” is being promoted as a preview of the album, addressing the vulnerability felt when falling in love.
On this special day, Stefânia Leonel is celebrated for her career and the promise of a bright future in music. May her 23rd birthday be filled with joy and new achievements!
