Memmuchi, described by many as one of the Gen Z breakout stars, is not resting on her laurels. She has returned with a new single titled “Money and Power”. And with her dulcet voice and tuneful vibe, she has made a deliberate career statement that a new Afrobeats queen has emerged and eying the throne. Stylish with her vocals, excellently unpredictable with her delivery, and with her lyrics, she does wear her heart on her sleeve. The release of the feel-good song “Money and Power” on 21 April 2023 signifies that Memmuchi is manifesting everything good in music. She’s the real deal.

Christened Chinemerem Nkwazema, Imo state indigene by heritage, Finnish by birth, Memmuchi is a hybrid of Tems, Ella Mai, Labianca, SZA, Latto, and Mariah the Scientist. With a distinct iconic voice texture reminiscent of Toni Braxton, Onyeka Onwenu- the Elegant Stallion, and Miriam Makeba – the legendary Mama Africa, the Memmuchi sound is unique; an urban vibe with an African undertone. Her guitar-playing prowess and dedication to perfection are enviable. Her content epitomizes pop culture. She is in a league of her own. 

As one of Afrobeats’ emerging female stars, she teamed up with multi-award-winning superstar Goya Menor on the song “Pokoe”, released on 14 April 2023. Judging by the real buzz around this head-banging bumping song and her ability to pull such a heavyweight for collaboration, it is not out of place to say Memmuchi is building an excellent pathway for a successful music career. She’s creating the right momentum toward attaining an A-list status. Looking at her upward career trajectory, Memmuchi is heading to her Eldorado.

The release of the Damelo Wayne- produced “Money and Power” as her follow-up single is right on the money. The emotion about this song is reaching a crescendo and is now at a fever pitch. According to Memmuchi, “Money and Power” is a song to celebrate everyone winning in their little way at their various field despite the odds. The song pays homage to everyone with a unique ability. Recording this single was fulfilling, enjoyable, and indicative of my music pathways. I know the audience will love it.”

A few weeks ago, at her Money And Power song-listening session in Gauteng, Johannesburg, South Africa, she revealed her love for music started at a tender age. Her family and loved ones knew she had a fair chance of flourishing in the entertainment industry but encouraged her to prioritize her studies. She did. With the release of “Money and Power”, she is ready to stake a claim amongst the queens of Afrobeats. She will leave no stone unturned until she becomes a global superstar. When she sings, it feels like she sprinkles stardust on her audience. She’s magical.

Signed to Synergy Soundz, Memmuchi is about to leave her footprints on the sands of time by arguably becoming the first female Afrobeats artist to release two singles in 7-days in the second quarter of 2023. When it comes to making good music, Memmuchi is limitless. Her hunger and desire to become great are overwhelming. “My management team and I promised to pull all the stops to get my music heard globally. So the focus today is on “Money and Power”. Let’s keep streaming and make magic content with the song on Tiktok. – Memmuchi
