There’s a new sound shaking up Kenya’s music scene, and it’s loud, fierce, and unapologetically powerful. Enter Tizika, the all-female powerhouse redefining what it means to move, speak, and sing your truth.
Their debut single “Toka” just dropped, and it’s more than a song, it’s a statement.
Toka (Swahili for get out or step out) pulses with high-energy beats and bold lyrics that scream freedom, ambition, and fearless self-expression. It's a wake-up call for anyone sitting on their dreams, a reminder that your breakthrough moment doesn’t wait. You’ve got to step up and take it.
Whether you’re grinding in the city, hustling on the daily, or quietly crafting your vision — Toka is your soundtrack. The track dares you to get out of your own way and take your shot.
Tizika is more than a music group, they’re a movement.
The collective features Haika Makiki, Nelly Bradbury, Deborah Taprandich, Mercy Mueni, Beatrice Mwangi, Marilyn Obuyu, and Virginia Kariuki — seven incredibly talented creatives who bring their whole selves to the stage. Each member brings something different to the table: from music and fashion to dance, design, and digital media.
Their strength? Authenticity. Their mission? Healing through art.
In a past interview with Mpasho, the group opened up about their vision:
“Tizika was born from the need to express ourselvesdeeply, authentically, and powerfully. We felt a strong urge to create a space where dance wasn't just about steps, but a language of healing, identity, and bold storytelling.”
And that’s exactly what Toka delivers, a blend of rhythm and rebellion, woven into an Afro-urban soundscape that commands attention.
Tizika represents a new wave of Kenyan artistry raw, rooted, and real. They’re not just performers; they’re storytellers, changemakers, and cultural curators.
So if you’ve been waiting for a sign to break free and chase your next big thing, this is it.
