Raised on French songs, ESSYLA developed her own tastes by listening to the great singers of jazz, folk, rock and funk. She fell in love with these voices and grooves, particularly captivated by the American legends.

In her lyrics, ESSYLA shares the concerns of a young woman of her time, with a central focus on female empowerment.
