In the last quarter of 2022, a young lady who is now regarded as one of Cameroon’s finest voices took Cameroon and Africa by storm with her hit single “Chacun Sa Chance”. And of course, that is the delectable Krys M. How well do you know the “Qui Croira Verra” crooner? Here is the full profile of Krys M.
Megne Noubissi Christelle, known artistically as Krys M is an award winning Cameroonian singer and dancer. She was born on January 30, 1995 in Yaoundé. (Age – 28 years as of 2023)
Her parents hail from Baleng in the West region of Cameroon.
Music Career
Early Beginings
Krys M began her musical career in 2013 with the group Mo Girls, where she was the lead singer of the trio. The group went on to release the hit “Secouer Lo” with Dj Arafat.
Unfortunately, the group broke up in 2015 after the release of “Super Roulée” and Krys M went solo.
Krys M as a Solo Artiste
In 2015, he started by doing covers of songs by music stars like Kiss Daniel, Sarkodie, Mr Leo and others. It was however not an easy journey as she found it difficult to return to the music scene and create a unique brand for herself.
In 2016, she signed under the popular label, Big Dreams Entertainment and went on to do more covers, including Davido’s IF,and Aveiro Djess’ Nyama.
In 2017, Krys M collaborated with Locko on “My Love” and the same year she released a single titled “T’oublies”.
She officially made her massive come back with her first album “Surface”. The six-track album included songs like “On fait comment”, “Coudes Prod”, “Ne T’en Vas Pas” and “Nobody.” She equally featured Star artistes Ko-C and Locko in the tracks “Show Me Something” and “Ton Ideal”.
2022 was an even bigger year for her as she released her hit song “Chacun sa Chance” (Everyone has Chance) under the KM Entertainment label. Indeed everyone has a chance and this was Krys M’s chance and she took it; a song that has gone viral, way beyond her expectations. The song is a fusion of traditional sounds from the West, particularly the Bend skin of the Bamiliké ethnic group in Cameroon.
Krys M has been unstoppable and in early 2023, she released another massive hit “Qui Croira Verra”, loosely translated as The person who believes, will see it come to past. The new single is similar in sound to the previous one and talks about keeping Faith in the face of difficulties.
