Biography
Calgary-born and raised, Sinzere is an independent rap-funk artist known for fearless lyricism, deeply personal storytelling, and a live presence that commands attention. Her sound is rooted in the raw energy of rap and the infectious pulse of funk, layered with elements of soul and rock to create something distinctly her own. At the heart of her music is a willingness to tell the truth—whether it is uncomfortable, celebratory, or painful—and turn those experiences into something listeners can feel.
With more than 15 years in music, Sinzere's path to becoming an artist has moved through dance, DJing, freestyling, and performance, ultimately leading her to develop a voice and identity entirely her own. Her career has taken her from Calgary stages to major festivals and international showcases, including Tallinn Music Week in Estonia, New Skool Rules in Rotterdam, Le Festif! de Baie-Saint-Paul in Quebec, and BreakOut West in Kelowna. At home, she has performed at the Calgary Folk Music Festival, Chinook Blast, TD Music's Pride Festival, and Road to the Junos, among numerous other stages across Canada.
A four-time YYC Music Award winner, Sinzere's debut album, Tabula Rasa, marked a defining chapter in her journey. Supported through FACTOR's Juried Sound Recording program, the album explored identity, ancestry, self-discovery, resilience, and the process of reconnecting with her African history. It earned her YYC Music Awards for Rap Recording of the Year and Music Video of the Year, while Tabula Rasa was named among Range Magazine's Top 25 Canadian Albums of 2022. Complex also recognized “The Mission” among its Best Canadian Songs of 2022, bringing further national attention to the project.
Her career has continued to expand well beyond Calgary. Her music has been featured in CBC's Diggstown and used in the launch campaign for CBC's The Block, while her music videos have received international recognition, including a Europe Music Video Award for “Ric Flair Flo.” In 2023, Complex named her one of 11 Black Canadian artists to know, adding to a growing list of national and international recognition.
What makes those accomplishments particularly significant is how Sinzere has achieved them: independently. Every major milestone—from award-winning music and international festival stages to national press and sync placements—has been built through her own creative vision, persistence, and commitment to making music on her own terms. She has carved out a career without waiting for traditional industry structures to define her path.
The stage is where Sinzere truly shines. She made history as the first rapper to perform with the Calgary Philharmonic at the Jack Singer Concert Hall, and alongside her live band, Offscript, she transforms her music into an experience driven by live musicianship, groove, emotion, and an unmistakable stage presence. There is a rare electricity in watching Sinzere perform—she doesn't simply deliver songs; she draws an audience into them. Her live show reveals an energy and depth that cannot be fully captured on a recording.
Now, Sinzere is preparing for her next chapter with a new album in the works—the first she has recorded live with her band. It marks another evolution for an artist who has consistently pushed beyond expectations while remaining grounded in the music, stories, and experiences that shaped her. More than 15 years into her career, Sinzere is still building—and doing it entirely on her own terms.
