Journey
Safia Aminami Issoufou Oumarou, professionally known as Safiath, was born on April 15, 1982, in Khartoum, Sudan. Her dynamic musical journey reflects her unique cultural lineage, with a Nigerien father and a Sudanese mother influencing her diverse sound. Safiath's artistic expression is a rich fusion of bongoflava, trap, qgom, amapiano, and genge—genres that underscore her ability to transcend traditional boundaries. Her initial musical endeavors began in Morocco, where her talent flourished as she played the guitar for a salsa dance group, a foundation that significantly shaped her versatile approach. Returning to Niger, Safiath's passion for music led her to become the lead singer of the rap group Kaidan Gaskiya. Through her evocative lyrics performed in French, Hausa, Zarma, and Tamashek, she courageously tackles social issues, with a strong focus on children's rights. Safiath's commitment to promoting Nigerien music is evident in her collaborations with other African artists and her representation of Niger in international music competitions. By weaving diverse cultural elements into her music, she continues to champion the richness of Niger's music scene on the global stage.
