“Sometimes I wish I was more defined in a way because it makes things more simple,” says Brooklyn-based Rwandese singer Iyadede talking about her electro-pop sound. Influenced in part by Zap Mama (whom she used to sing backup for), part-Cindy Lauper, part-Santigold, the 26-year-old bares her heart over electronic beats tempered with African melodies. “Dede” spoke with AfriPOP! about her journey from genocide survivor to a boundary-busting indie artist.
