Career Journey
She started off just singing and just loving to sing. She remembers her first babysitter. She was around five or six in Cameroon. The babysitter would be walking around and cleaning the house, and she would start singing. She just felt something whenever the babysitter sang, and she was like, “I want to be able to feel that way on my own.” So she just sang from there. Then she started writing songs around the ages of 10, 11.
By the time she moved over to America, she kept writing songs, kept singing. She got involved in choir, pretty much anything music-related in school. Then she signed a local record deal when she was 15 or 16 for about a year. That was cool. She learned a lot about engineering, recording, and that’s when she decided that she wanted to be able to mix her own vocals. She wanted to be able to engineer herself in a studio and all that good stuff. And so she learned how to do it as the years went by.
In 2021, Libianca competed on the twenty-first season of NBC’s The Voice, where Blake Shelton was her coach. She made her way to the top 20 before being eliminated. Her covers of “Everything I Wanted” and “Woman” on the show were later released as singles via West Side Creative Agency.
Libianca signed to 5K Records and Sony in 2022. In December of that year, she released “People”, a song inspired by her cyclothymia.
