DANIELLA QUEEN AGASARO, commonly known as Queen D, is an afro, RnB, and dancehall singer with plans to up the afro music game in Rwanda.

"In Rwanda, the music industry is still growing in Afro and dancehall, and that’s where my contribution lies. I want to push it farther,” Agasaro said.

As the eldest in a family of four children, Agasaro has always enjoyed music since her childhood. With her family's support, she decided to pursue a career in music.

In addition to singing, she is a songwriter, poet, model for several agencies, and a dancer. With her family’s support, she manages to do all that and study since she is joining her senior five next year.

"With my family's help, things have become a lot easier; I get to achieve my dreams and perform well in school,” Agasaro said.

She joined the music industry in May She joined the music industry in May last year, after telling her mother about her ambitions, and then she released her debut single, Kido, with her mother's help. She said she recognized she had that talent as a dancer in high school and doing karaoke at various events. The artist has six songs out so far.

Agasaro says music to her is a place of comfort where she expresses herself and her feelings to the world. 

Future plans?

"My dream is to be an international musician but based in Rwanda, the world has to know that Rwanda has talents, and I am one of them,” she said. 

With the music industry growing, Agasaro said that she is bringing more Afro dancehall songs since many people don’t focus on it a lot in Rwanda.

Her latest song Horo is one of her greatest hits so far. Queen D will also release a new song Pulu in early August. The new song was produced by Ayo rash and the video by Chris Eazy 

She advised other rising musicians to always open up and be confident in what they do to achieve their dreams. 

"With many challenges in the music industry, one has to buckle up to get to what they want,” she said.
