One year after the death of Nigerian-American artiste, Margaret-Mary Joseph, better known as Zara Gretti, her colleague in the industry, Nikki Laoye has remembered her.
“It’s one year already… Wow. Rest on, Zara @zaragretti .. You are in a better place, dear one. Miss you, Love you always,” Laoye posted on her Instagram page.
Zara died on Friday, March 28 last year after battling multiple sclerosis, an auto-immune disease that affects the brain and spinal cord.
Zara is a Nigerian-American artiste who was born Margaret-Mary Joseph in the mid 80’s. She was exposed to different religions and cultures as she was raised by Catholic and Muslim families from various ethnic groups in Nigeria.
As a young lady, Zara was a part of her church and school choirs. In the summer of 1999, Zara moved to the Philadelphia area in the United States where she eventually graduated as one of the top 10 students in her High School graduating class. She first came into music in the summer of 2006.
In December 2009, Zara Gretti relocated to Nigeria to further her music career as she was then signed to Alapomeji, a record label owned by 9ice. This contract was however terminated on mutual grounds before the term was completed. She was also previously managed by Toni Payne Concepts.
The singer is known for the singles, The Flyest and Aboko Ku. In her life time, she has worked with producers such as ID Cabasa, Spankie Doodle, Kid Konnect, Dognomite, Teffler, TFlava, Sazzy (RIP) and many more. She has also worked with Eldee The Don, 2 Shotz, Freestyle, Jahbourne and DBlack from Ghana amongst others.
Prior to her demise, Zara, also an on-air personality on Rhythm 93.7fm, Lagos, tweeted; “I love and hate my life.”
