Rehema Tajiri’s career spans over 20 years, first through the Tanzanian congolese rumba scene, as a singer and a dancer: her first album Sumu Ya Ndoa was released in 2002. In 2005 she moved towards Zouk with Ni wako Tu, which was praised by the BBC, then joining a band before entering the singeli scene at its height in 2017 – effectively joining Sisso Studios. Invited by Nyege Nyege Festival during a singeli block party in 2018, she then made her first Boiler Room appearance at the festival in Uganda that same year, followed by performances throughout the region at Africa Nouveau in Nairobi, Sauti Za Busara in Zanzibar, and One Love in Kigali.

Following the footsteps of her mom, Queen Asher became the first singeli female DJ, changing the game by learning from Sisso, Jay Mitta, Maiko, and others in the scene. She then became a producer, making beats for her mom and developing a new and dangerous duo, premiering at Nyege Nyege in 2022 and at CTM in January 2023. Their energy and connection on stage has once again elevated singeli to a whole new dimension, combining Queen Asher’s youthful explosiveness with Rehema Tajiri’s experience and vocal power. Their album is slated for the end of 2023.
