"Faiza- Made To be"

Faiza is a young up and coming R&B singer based out of Toronto. Dropping
her first single,“Made To Be” earlier in June, Faiza is making all the right
moves in preparation for her E.P release, set to drop on July 3rd. Faiza’s
voice commands attention. She rides the “Made To Be” instrumental
effortlessly, letting each lyric she releases float in the air briefly, before they
get stuck in your head. The term “It” factor seems a little cliche at times, but
in Faiza’s case, it’s an understatement. “Made To Be,” is the perfect track to
zone out with on a nice summer night. Do yourself a favor, and check this
track out. - The Come Up Show


"Faiza - Made to be single"

"Rising singer Faiza unleashes her debut single, “Made To Be.” The
talented vocalist and songwriter flexes her skills both lyrically and on the
mic for a super smooth record. Check out the track below." - boi-1da.net


"Faiza | Special Delivery 1"

"The rappers teamed up with the strikingly beautiful 22-year-old up
singer, Faiza, to organize the networking release party. She appears
to glide onto the stage owning a long, black dress. Friends and
supporters quickly gather closer to the stage while she sings two
songs from her first official project, “Made to Be” and “New
Beginnings”, which is to be released June 13. Faiza’s undeniable skill
to sway the audience with her beauty and vocals is made apparent as
she sings her remake of Usher’s “You Make Me Wanna” - Urbanologymag.com

Bio

Faiza is a Toronto-based, independent R&B, soul singer with the goal of living in her truth and inspiring others to do the very same.

"I think it’s important to be relentless about your self- expression, even if it’s uncomfortable at times," explains Faiza. "Music has been a source of joy and healing for me my whole life, I just want to pay it forward."

Citing Brandy, Erykah Badu, Aaliyah and Janet Jackson as her biggest influences, Faiza is combining their old school soul and gorgeous harmonies with her edgy bravado and take-no-prisoners attitude, while exploring new sounds.

Her debut EP, Faiza, produced by Nate Smith, was released in July 2014. The seven-tracks included “Made To Be”, “You Make Me Wanna” and “Bandman”. These songs, among others, have been featured on iluvlola.net and boi1da.net.

“Faiza is one of Toronto’s R&B newcomers to watch,” remarked Ebyan Abdigir of chartattack.com following her show-stealing Canadian Music Week performance in May 2015.  “Faiza sounded just as good as she does on her EP, if not better.”

Zambah, a music discovery application with a companion music blog, named Faiza as one of “7 Female R&B Artists From Toronto That You Need To Know About” in March 2015 saying, “Faiza is a smooth vocalist who naturally sounds good on anything you throw her on.”

By 21 Faiza left her home town of London, ON behind for bigger and brighter things. Enter Toronto. Here she not only participated in The Remix Project (2014), but is actively being mentored by Canada’s Music Incubator’s at Coalition Music.

Faiza has also amassed a string of high-profile performances including Manifesto Festival of Community & Culture (2014), The Known Unknown (2014), and Northern Lights (2015).
