Hadiya

Did you get the memo? Hadiya is setting herself up to become not only Chicago's, but the World’s new rising star.
Hadiya is a unique talent, not because she is six years old and plays the violin, nor is she unique because she can rap seamlessly in different styles. She is unique because of her ability in the early stages of her career; to execute her craft at such a high level. She already has two single releases with a 3rd release coming in August.

Hadiya comes from a family with a strong Christian background. This has culminated in Hadiya being grounded in the principle of helping others, thus her affiliation with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Hadiya's family also excels in the entertainment fields. Among her family members are singers, rappers, musicians, playwrights and actors. Hadiya’s influence list ranges from some of the all-time greats like, Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin and Bruce Springsteen to those who are establishing their greatness such as, Biggie Sims, Common, LiL’ Wayne and Nikki Manaj. Hadiya is poised to have her name added to such a list.

Among Hadiy’s interests are, recording in the studio, performing, riding her bicycle and spending time with her relatives. She loves ice cream and her favorite colors are red, pink and light blue. Hadiya will be in the first grade in the fall 2012 school year, and although her passion is entertaining, she takes her education very seriously. She is a good student and loves being able to interact and play with her classmates.

Although Hadiya has started her career in rap, she refuses to be limited by the title 'rap artist.' Hadiya considers herself an entertainer. She feels just as comfortable on a theater stage and film set as she does in front of a microphone.

Hadiya’s first single, “Today is a Good Day,” has been well received and has produced her first music video- which was actually shot at her birthday party. Her second single, soon to be released, “You didn’t get the Memo,” is a hard core rap song guaranteed to legitimize Hadiya with the hip-hop fans. Hadiya hopes her music will inspire and motivate other young talented people to move out of their comfort zones and go for their dreams. At six, she feels that you are never too young.
