Hailing from the vibrant streets of Nairobi, Kenya, Magana is a singer-songwriter and producer with a sonic identity as diverse as her multicultural roots. Born in Virginia, USA, to parents from Uganda and Tanzania, Magana's musical journey is a rich tapestry woven from the threads of her East African heritage and American experiences.

A true academic of her craft, Magana pursued her undergraduate studies at NYU where she received a BFA in Acting and Politics. Shortly after, Magana re-immersed herself into NYU, earning a Masters Degree in Performance Studies with a focus on Memory and Archive as a Means of Resistance in Minoritized communities. This academic exploration has added depth to her artistic expression, infusing her music with a profound understanding of cultural memory and the power of resistance through art.

Magana's work serves as a testament to the global connectivity of music, embodying a celebration of multiculturalism and a commitment to telling stories that transcend geographical boundaries.
