NINA BOLA – Rwanda
23 year old Nina is the eldest child and has 1 brother and 1 sister. Her family is multi-lingual having lived in various African countries. Nina says she is comfortable speaking in French, English, Swahili, Kinyarwanda, Kirundi, Kikongo and Lingala. She is always happy but her very organized nature sometimes makes her seem too prim and proper – both a good thing and a not so good thing, she says.
CHRISTIAN ROBERT RWIRANGIRA
Christian, 23, wryly states ‘like father, like son,’ noting that he comes from a family of dancers. His grandfather and father were both very skilled in the famous traditional Kinyarwanda dance.
He sees his Tusker Project Fame journey as a predestined journey, noting that his contract on a temporary job had ended a week before he auditioned. He is more comfortable singing in French and says that he only knew 5 English songs but considers himself lucky to have come this far. Christian is gunning for the top prize like everybody else, but wisely adds that more than anything, this is an opportunity to learn about music because he thinks he has a decent voice but needs help in training it. He is in the contest to learn as much as he can.
Christina says he likes the way judge Ian Mbugua makes no apologies for putting them on the straight and narrow because this way he pushes them to reach greater heights if they take the criticism positively. Christian is the 3rd born in a family of 9. He has 4 brothers and 4 sisters.
ALPHA RWIRANGIRA
Alpha, 23, has recently enrolled in a music school to hone his guitar playing skills.
He entered the Tusker Project Fame contest because he loves music. He notes that his family is very musical as his father is a keyboard player and has a cousin who is a popular musician back home. He would therefore like to explore this musical talent that he believes is in him as well. Alpha is the 1st born and has 2 sisters and 2 brothers after him.
