Pretty discovered her talent when she was approached by one of her friends who happened to be a musician and was asked to feature in one of the productions; because a female voice was needed in the song. “I did not know that I could sing but I was amazed at how my voice was loved by other people, since then I have not look back, I sung in the group for some time then later I decided to start singing alone.” says Pretty.

“Since I was going solo, I decided to come up with a stage name, so I called myself, “Pretty” In memory of my mum because she used to call me ‘Pretty’. I recorded my first song in 2008 and it was called ‘Iyomo Cwinya’, the song received a good audience and was well received; that encouraged me to record more, I do not have an album yet, but I hope to make one in the near future.”

“Each of us has an inner drive to do what we do and at times we need motivation,” Pretty B tells AT, “my motivation are my fans, the love they show for my Music gives me courage to continue working hard.”

When asked about her fears in life, Pretty says she has no fears in life and she is always ready to face anything that comes her way. She has not yet faced any serious challenges in her music career because she is doing it for fun. “I put much of my effort and concentration on my studies.”
