Today we’d like to introduce you to Enjonu.
Hi Enjonu, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I’ve loved music for as long as I can remember. I was that kid who was always singing, always dancing—music just lived in me. I started writing poetry back in elementary school, but it wasn’t until middle school that I really found my voice. That’s when I realized not only did I love doing it, but I was actually good at it.
My aunt, who’s also a rapper, really helped me take things to the next level. She showed me how to sharpen my pen, tighten my flow, and own my sound. By high school, I finally started recording, and everything just took off from there.
Honestly, I can’t see myself ever putting the pen down. This isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
My journey’s been full of ups and downs, no question. There have been times when I felt on top of the world creatively—and other times when I didn’t recognize myself at all. Becoming a teen parent was one of those moments that changed everything. I thought I had to let go of my dreams, that my life was already decided. But somewhere deep down, that passion never died—it just waited for me to come back to it.
When I finally did, it felt like I was breathing again. But even then, I fell into cycles and friend groups that pulled me away from my essence. I lost focus, lost faith in myself for a while. Depression crept in. So did imposter syndrome. I started questioning whether I was good enough to call myself an artist at all.
And now, dealing with an autoimmune disorder, it’s like another layer of challenge—something that touches every part of my life, even the way I create. Some days are harder than others. But I’ve learned that resilience doesn’t always look like strength. Sometimes it’s just showing up anyway. Writing anyway. Singing anyway.
No matter what I’ve gone through, I always find my way back to the art. It’s my reminder that even when everything else feels uncertain, I’m still me.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I’m a vocal artist, and I specialize in rap. But more than that, I see myself as a storyteller. Everything I write comes from real life, my experiences, my emotions, my growth. When people listen to my music, I want them to feel it, to connect with the truth behind every word.
People usually know me for my personality. I’m super goofy, soft, and full of love—but my raps? They’re the total opposite. They’re raw, tough, and straight to the point. I think that contrast really represents who I am someone who can hold both softness and strength at the same time.
What I’m most proud of is my fighting spirit. I’ve been through a lot but I’ve never stopped creating. My resilience is what sets me apart. I always say, “I’m an unknown underdog, and I still get the job done”.No matter what life throws at me, I find a way to keep going, keep growing, and keep putting my truth into my art.
Any big plans?
Honestly, I’ve got a lot in motion right now. I’m gearing up to release my new album and finally bring my music to life with some visuals—something my fans have been waiting for. But the biggest changes aren’t just external—they’re internal. I’ve got a new attitude, a new mindset, and I’m ready to show the world the growth, the strength, and the energy I’ve been building. This is me stepping fully into my power, and I can’t wait to share it.
