Xenia Manasseh is a fast-rising Kenyan R&B musician who travels between Nairobi and a few states in the United States. The 24-year-old singer-songwriter and dancer is signed to Atlanta-based Upper-Class Music Group.

Her appearance on Teyana Taylor’s “Wrong Bitch,” which she co-wrote with Marquis Rachad, was perhaps the pinnacle of her career. She also co-wrote Taylor Swift’s “Shoot It Up” with Big Sean.
