It all happen in the year 1989 August 13, a star was born, which I would say; the mother of rap was born. Music was introduced to her by her mother who loves playing record of the 70's and 80's which got her influence by wonderful and prominent artist like Michael Jackson, Bob Marley, Sade Adu, The Carpenters, John Lennon and Don Williams. At the age of seven she was already in the church choir and stated acting in her drama club while in school. Age 10 she wrote a shot story and dream of being an author, due to the love she had for music, after listening to "Cleanin' Out My Closet" a song by American rapper Eminem from his album The Eminem Show (2002), she was inspired to pursue a professional rap career, from that day she began to write rap verses, her love for words and rhyming pulled her deeper into the hip hop genre.

She started auditioning for acting and modelling roles, starting the journey she started as a photography model, i was happy to hear that she graduated with a degree in Computer Science from Bowen University. I still remember, in 2009 when i started listening to rap music her attention was drag to me and that was her first ever studio recording on Lil Wayne's "A Milli" instrumental featuring Tha Suspect title "I Dey Play", the call her The Queen Of Nigerian Rap Music, De Rap Diva, to me any time i play her song, see her on T V or hear her voice on radio, i scream loud, The Mother Of Rapp, am talking about no other person than Eva Alordiah also know as Eva.
