Introduction
Born on September 3, 2001, in Conakry, Eliesia Kamano (whose real name is Sia Saran Kamano) is gradually establishing herself as one of the most promising voices in the French-speaking African music scene. Daughter of the iconic Guinean reggae artist Élie Kamano, she proudly carries her family's musical heritage while forging her own artistic identity.
Deep Artistic Roots
Raised in an environment steeped in music, Eliesia grew up between Guinea and France, where she has lived since childhood. This dual culture now nourishes her unique musical approach, subtly blending traditional African sounds with contemporary Western influences.
It was in 2019 that Eliesia decided to follow in her father's footsteps by officially launching her music career. This vocation materialized thanks to the unwavering support of her father, who sees her as the ideal heir to his art.
A Remarkable Entry into the Music Scene
The young artist made her first significant public appearance in December 2020, during Diamond Platnumz's VIP concert in Conakry. This performance constituted a true baptism by fire for Eliesia, who immediately impressed with her stage presence and the quality of her voice.
"As we age, we prepare the next generation. She is Eliesia Kamano, my worthy heir who will, in the coming days, months, or years, carry the torch of music to places I couldn't reach," Élie Kamano proudly declared.
In early 2021, Eliesia continued her ascent by unveiling several freestyles and covers that quickly captured public attention. Among her first creations was a remix of "Diallo," one of her father's hit songs, through which she demonstrated both her respect for family heritage and her ability to make it her own with a modern twist.
A Multifaceted Talent
What distinguishes Eliesia in today's musical landscape is undoubtedly her artistic versatility. Equally comfortable with enchanting Afro-pop melodies and incisive rap flows, she doesn't hesitate to explore different facets of her talent. In November 2021, she surprised her audience with a notable freestyle in which she "challenged rappers," proving she could also make her mark in this traditionally male universe.
Her voice, both soft and powerful, allows her to tackle varied themes with the same ease, ranging from love to more socially conscious subjects, following in her father's footsteps. This authenticity quickly earned her a community of loyal fans who closely follow each of her appearances.
Recognition with Her First Music Video
After several years of learning and perfecting her craft, Eliesia takes a decisive step in her career by announcing the release of her very first official music video on April 18, 2025. Titled "Loin de moi" (Far from me), this single truly marks her entry into the professional music industry.
"This project is a bit like my diary set to music. I put my heart and soul into it, and I hope people will be able to relate to it," the artist confides about this first production.
In this personal work, Eliesia addresses with sensitivity and depth the universal themes of love, frustration, but also joy and resilience. The video, the fruit of a collaboration with a team of experienced directors and musicians, promises to offer an immersive visual and sonic experience, reflecting the rich and nuanced universe of the artist.
A Promising Future
At 24, Eliesia Kamano is positioning herself today as one of the most promising figures of the new generation of African artists. Her unique journey, combining prestigious family heritage and personal artistic approach, gives her a rare legitimacy for an artist of her age.
As her first music video is about to see the light of day, anticipation and enthusiasm are palpable among her fans and observers of the French-speaking music scene. As she herself states on her Facebook page: "April 18 is the big day InshAllah: my very first music video is officially released! It's more than a dream come true, it's the beginning of an adventure."
An adventure that many music lovers are preparing to follow closely, convinced that Eliesia Kamano has everything it takes to establish herself as one of the major voices of tomorrow's Afro-pop.
