When it comes to music, there is no doubt that it is the gateway to the soul. Over the years we have seen thousands of talented singers rise up and deliver top notch songs. Speaking of upcoming artistes, there is one person who has taken the music world by storm with her incredible voice. Her name is Mercy but known by her stage name, Mrcyu.
Mercy was born in San Diego California to two Nigerian parents from Anambra State. She always had a natural pull toward music and believed she had a voice but wasn’t sure until one day, she decided to come out of her shell and upload a video on Facebook of herself singing in her room. The video went viral and close friends and family were shocked at her voice as she had kept it under wraps until then.
She sang covers and worked on her craft. She also wrote a song and shot a video “Barbie N Ken” and performed live at venues such as Catchone nightclub, House of Blues Hollywood, and the Viper Room Hollywood. She ended up getting invited to radio stations, red carpet interviews, online interviews and got her freestyle to Mayorkun’s “Mamma” played on radio and popular Lagos venues. She also performed live in Victoria Island and recorded her debut single “MRCY”.Her style of music is a fusion of RnB, Afrobeat sounds and pop. The talented artiste is still basking in the success of her debut single, MRCY, which is a feel-good jam. She writes to beats and freestyle comes easy to her. She has a naturally beautiful sounding voice that goes with her looks.
There is something else about her. She does these videos which are her freestyles of songs by other artistes. It’s an idea she calls Car Chronicles because she records them with a phone while inside her car.
She works only with the beat of the song and then freestyles to it. She creates incredible mash-ups of trending songs. A mash-up is a creative work, usually in a form of a song, created by blending two or more pre-recorded songs, usually by overlaying the vocal track of one song seamlessly over the instrumental track of another.
