Bagetti, Nigeria's rising star

Nigerian singer-songwriter, Bagetti is the first female to be signed to D'Prince’s Jonzing World label, the power behind top Afrobeats stars including Rema, and she is a force to be reckoned with. She was introduced to music at the age of seven by her dad and spent her early years listening to Onyeka, Lagbaja, Whitney Houston, Dolly Parton and Phil Collins. Her latest single Hard Girl was written during a time of heartbreak, but clearly she's moved from that.

This is the first video of This is Africa Spotlight series three, focussing on young female artists making waves from countries like Nigeria, Zambia and Tunisia.
