Mentissa

About

Mentissa Aziza, known mononymously as Mentissa, isn't just another voice competition alum; she's a conduit for raw emotion, channeling vulnerability into soaring vocals that leave audiences breathless. The Belgian-born singer, whose Congolese heritage infuses her sound with subtle textures, blends the contemporary grit of Belgian pop with the classic drama of French chanson. Her sound draws parallels to artists like Angèle in its melodic sensibility but distinguishes itself through a deeper exploration of personal pain and resilience. Mentissa’s breakthrough came with her participation in *The Voice Belgique* and later, *The Voice France*, where she quickly became a fan favorite. While she didn't clinch the crown, her performances resonated deeply, catching the ear of Vianney, who became her mentor and collaborator. Her debut album, *La Vingtaine* (Twenty Something), lays bare the anxieties and hopes of early adulthood, earning her critical acclaim and solidifying her place in the French music scene. Collaborations with Vianney and others have showcased her versatility, but it's her solo work that truly reveals her unique artistic identity: a performer unafraid to expose her inner self through powerful, heart-wrenching ballads. Mentissa is currently touring and continues to captivate audiences with her captivating stage presence and emotionally charged performances, poised to solidify her position as a leading voice of her generation.
