‘Hear to Stay’ album: The rich body of Ariel Wayz’s music

When Ariel Wayz first entered the music scene in 2020, her ambitions were clear — to make a mark in popular local genres like Afrobeats and pop. However, as she ages, the artiste continues to prove that she is capable of creating bold and innovative sounds that many local artistes have yet to explore. With experience, Ariel Wayz has shown that she is not just following trends—she is setting them. A former member of the Symphony Band and one of the standout products of Nyundo School of Music and Arts, Ariel Wayz has captured attention once again with her long-awaited debut album, ‘Hear to Stay.’ The 12-track project, which mostly features R&B sounds and was produced by some of the finest sound engineers and producers in Rwanda, is already becoming a sensation with music every generation can relate.
