In an industry often defined by fast fame and fleeting trends, Princess Moyo emerges as something refreshingly rare: a voice that doesn’t just sing, but speaks. It speaks of vulnerability, faith, courage, and the quiet power of starting to be scared. From the riverside calm of Maun to the buzzing stage of My Star, Princess is on a heartfelt mission to remind people that music can be both a mirror and a refuge.
At just 21, she’s already begun writing the kind of story that many only dream of one where authenticity is the main character and music is the soul’s language.
Roots of a Songbird
“I’m a passionate young woman with a deep love for music,” she says softly, as though her very words are meant to be sung. Born and raised in Maun, Princess describes herself as a dreamer and a discoverer, someone still unfolding into the artist she is becoming.
Maun, a town rich in culture and layered with spiritual tradition, didn’t just raise Princess it shaped her. “It’s a place where stories are everything,” she says. “Growing up in a Christian home, church was a second home for me. That’s where I first sang, and it’s also where I first felt the power of music.”
From early childhood, Princess was surrounded by voices lifted in harmony and prayer an experience that planted deep roots of both discipline and emotional expression. But it wasn’t until one particularly transformative performance at a church talent show that she truly saw music for what it could be: a lifeline.
“I remember losing myself in the song, and seeing how people reacted… some were crying. That moment showed me that my voice could move people. That it could connect.”
Balancing Two Worlds: The Scholar and the Songstress
Now a second-year student at the University of Botswana, pursuing a Bachelor of Education in Primary Level, Princess walks a fine line between academic responsibility and creative calling.
“It’s not always easy,” she admits. “But music is my therapy. Even when my schedule is overwhelming, I turn to music not as pressure, but as peace.”
Organization and intentionality help her keep both dreams alive, and though the workload is real, she never lets it dull her purpose. “I believe you can pursue more than one thing, as long as you know why you’re doing it.”
When the Voice Becomes the Story
For Princess, music is more than melody; it’s a memoir.
“I used to write in a diary every day. Now, when I sing, it’s like opening that diary and letting people read it only this time, the words are sound.”
It’s that emotional transparency that sets her apart. Her voice carries not just technical strength, but an unmistakable emotional weight the kind that makes listeners stop, feel, and reflect.
Influenced by artists like Adele, Jazmine Sullivan, and H.E.R., Princess’s sound leans into raw emotion and soul-baring truth. But if there’s one artist who truly lights her creative fire, it’s South Africa’s Langa Mavuso.
“I love, love him so much,” she says with a laugh. “His music just feels and that’s what I want mine to do.”
Locally, she finds inspiration in artists like Dato Seiko, Mpho Sebina, and Han C creatives who blend authenticity with art and continue to raise the standard of music in Botswana.
The Leap of Faith: Joining My Star
This past year, Princess took one of the boldest steps of her career: auditioning for My Star, one of Botswana’s most prestigious singing competitions.
“It was one of my New Year’s resolutions to enter a singing competition,” she shares. “When I saw the audition post on Facebook, I just felt this nudge, like, ‘This is your moment.’”
She showed up nervous but determined. “On stage, I told myself, ‘Sing like it’s the last time you’ll ever get to.’”
That moment of courage opened the door to a transformative experience. “Being part of My Star has challenged me in the best ways. I’ve learned about stage presence, vocal control, and how to push past fear. And more than that I’ve made friends who are just as passionate as I am.”
The Bigger Picture: Purpose, Passion, and Plans
Princess isn’t just dreaming about music, she’s building a life around it.
“I want to record original music, perform globally, and use my voice to speak to people’s hearts,” she says. “I know the road ahead won’t be easy, but the God I serve has never failed me.”
Currently, she’s in the early stages of writing her first project, something she wants to be deeply personal, reflective, and honest.
“I want people to hear my story through each song. The pain, the joy, the faith… all of it.”
And when it comes to future collaborations? “Dato Seiko, Mpho Sebina, Han C… and internationally, definitely Langa Mavuso. Those are dream collabs for me. Their music holds so much soul and substance.”
Life Off the Stage
Away from the spotlight, Princess is thoughtful and introspective. She loves journaling, hiking at Kgale Hill, walking through campus with her headphones on, and surprise watching horror movies.
“I know it’s weird,” she says with a chuckle. “People don’t expect that from me. But there’s something about the thrill that helps me disconnect.”
She also finds peace in sketching. “Just random doodles, nothing serious. But it clears my mind.”
Words for the Fearful Dreamer
When asked what advice she’d give to someone afraid to chase their dream, Princess doesn’t hesitate:
“Start getting scared. You don’t have to be confident at the beginning, just be courageous enough to begin. Confidence grows with every step you take.”
What Comes Next
In the next three to five years, Princess sees herself releasing music, performing on bigger stages, and touring across countries spreading a message of healing through sound. “But most importantly,” she adds, “I want to keep evolving. As a woman, as an artist, and as a person of purpose.”
For fans wanting to follow her journey, she’s active on TikTok (@pookiebear) and Facebook (@Moyo Princess), where she shares clips, behind-the-scenes moments, and the occasional acoustic jam. Vlogging is also in the works.
A Voice That Leaves a Mark
When all is said and sung, Princess Moyo wants her music to leave something behind not just echoes, but understanding.
“I want my music to tell people: it’s okay to feel. It’s okay to be vulnerable. You are not alone.”
In a world that often rushes past the quiet moments, Princess Moyo is teaching us to pause, listen, and heal and she’s doing it one heartfelt note at a time.
