Uzi Freyja is the stage name of a Cameroonian singer, song-writer and composer.[1][2]
Her name is inspired by the semi-automatic gun and the nordic goddess of love and fertility.
Biography
[edit]For her first album "Bhelize Don't Cry",[3] Uzi Freyja develops her musical and visual universe and makes a turning-point by imposing a radical artistic direction. She joins the Fougue records label,[4] with which she pushes the limits of her estheticism and sound identity even further. The album highlights outstanding collaborations, with Carbon Killer (on "Burn The Witch Burner" and "Medusa"[5]) and Baby Volcano ("Gyoza") and surprises with Béatrice Dalle's appearance on the "Spicy Mami" track.
Her audience develops itself and goes beyond borders: with her music video "Don't Disturb Me",[6] a song co-written with Yoa, Uzi Freyja captures the attention of a growing audience in the United States of America and Canada, confirming her international potential.
Achievements
[edit]Her unique approach and her scenic energy earn her a few major distinctions in France. In 2023, Uzi Freyja was the winner of the FAIR program,[7] followed by the support program of Le Chantier des Francos, run by the Francofolies de la Rochelle festival. In 2023 also, she won the Chorus Prize of Hauts-de-Seine,[8] affirming her status as a rising star on today's musical scene. In 2025, her first album "Bhelize Don't Cry" is part of the top 40 albums of the year by the Joséphine Prize.[9] In 2025 too, Uzi Freyja is also part of the 100 artist to watch program by Impala.[10]
Project history
[edit]From the beginning, Uzi Freyja surrounds herself with collaborations that allow her to explore multiple sounds to draw the first contours of the musical identity. The project is created with Stuntman5,[11] who brings a first raw and electrifying sound color. Then, Fotondanger joins the adventure, enriching the musical proposal with more electronic influences. These collaborations contributed in laying the foundations of Uzi Freyja's unique sound. Today, Uzi Freyja fully affirms herself as an independent artistic figure.
