From the EP Amazing (digital release scheduled for November 17, 2009)

Born to Congolese parents who traveled extensively (her father was a diplomat), Philly resident Rafiya has lived in Senegal, the Cape Verde Islands, Barbados, the Ivory Coast and other equally fascinating places. Soaking up the sounds of each locale and drawing upon them for inspiration, Rafiya offers an Afro-soul feel to her artistry.

The delicate, acoustic title track to her soon-to-be released EP Amazing is a bright, airy praise song with a dash of African lilt in the rhythm. In a world bursting with bad news, it’s good to breathe in an optimistic and positive outlook such as Rafiya provides in “Amazing.”

Incidentally, while Rafiya sings “Amazing” in English, she can also deliver a song in French. Check out "Je Me Cherche" on her MySpace page.
