Silvia Kariuki is a 16 years-old girl. She was born and raised in Woodbridge, New Jersey. She was Kenyan. She speaks a little bit of Swahili, and very little French. Silvia was raised by a single mother, with her older sister and younger brother. Growing up in a Christian household Silvia and her family were very into music. The Christian radio station would  be on 24/7 in her house. Silvia and her mom were involved in their church choir, she is learning how to play the piano and bass, and her little brother is learning how to play the drums. Singing is a deep passion for Silvia as well as song writing. Silvia personally feels as if she can fully express herself in a way that isn’t so straight forward when it comes to creating her own music.
