Grace Matata is a born and raised Tanzanian singer/songwriter based in Dar es Salaam. Her musical journey started in 2010 when she got signed by the record label Music Lab (M-Lab) under the media group, Media Kings. 



Her music is a unique blend of Swahili soul, RnB and jazz with a special touch of poetry and light, heart warming melodies. 



Her first album NYAKATI (meaning TIMES in Swahili) came out in 2013 and has taken Grace into the international platform and solidified her image as a unique female artist in the Tanzanian music industry. The album features local artists such as Ben Pol, Banana Zoro and Nuruell as well as international artists such as Wyre (Kenya).
