Artist Biography

Libianca Kenzonkinboum Fonji was born in Minneapolis in the early 2000s but relocated to Bamenda, Cameroon when she was four. She started writing songs at boarding school as a preteen and sang in choirs and at open mikes. She moved back to the States when she was a teenager. Libianca then competed in the 21st season of NBC’s The Voice in 2021. With Blake Shelton as her coach, she made it to the final 20 before being eliminated. This got her a record deal with 5k Records and Sony. In 2022, she made her major-label debut with “People (Check on Me)” which was inspired by her experiences in dealing with depression and cyclothymia. The track made it to number two on the charts in the U.K., Ireland, New Zealand, and the Netherlands. It also charted in Africa, Asia, and North America where it peaked at number 89 on the U.S. Hot 100. In 2023, Libianca joined Alicia Keys on tour.
