From all the testimonies I heard, I felt the need to make a change in this industry and create a welcoming space for female musicians,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>However, Chrisy Neat disclosed that the journey wasn\u2019t smooth due to the way she had no female role model to learn from. After graduating at Nyundo School of arts and music, she started producing solo and later got signed by Ibisumizi, a renowned record label owned by Riderman.<\/p>\n<p>According to Chrisy Neat, being part of the Ibisumizi team is the best experience so far, due to the way she always dreamed of working with big artistes in the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStarting my career, I wouldn\u2019t think that I could get a chance to be part of a big label like Ibisumizi. It is something that I admire, and I hope I will make a huge impact on Rwanda\u2019s music industry through this label,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition she advised fellow females to join the music industry due to the way it lacks representation of the other gender. Chris Neat Beat is singer, writer, producer and mother who is behind songs like \u2018You Are\u2019 and \u2018Ikibondo\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/rwanda\">Rwanda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Rwanda.
