Zahara is one of the most loved local artists of our generation although she feels unappreciated sometimes. She commands a huge following with an impressive list of celeb friends but it was not always as so for the Award winning singer.


Zahara recently shared that many people didn’t want to be friends with her because of the deep tone of her voice. “I grew up like a tomboy. I was staying with my brothers, so they would go herd the cattle and I would go with them because I didn’t have friends, because of my voice,” she said.

“There was a neighbor who would come looking for my mother and when I answered she would tell me, ‘I am not looking for you, boy’ because of my voice.”
