Who would have imagined that Cameroon would at one point, be having more ambassadors in the domain of music than elsewhere? Arguably, that is the fact! Missy BK is one of such ambassadors her country now takes pride in having, not only because the Canada-based Afro pop artist resides in the diaspora, but also because she displays a palatable mastery in the art she practices – music.

After the March 2012 Mama, I Love You from where observers assessed her as a fine-tuned singer, Missy BK has bounced back with yet another ground-breaking single. “I’d impatiently waited for the next and I’m glad she has dropped it,” said Marienne, a Missy BK fan we happened to come across in Ohio. “And, you know what, this one grips me like nothing ever did,” she added, referring to My Baby, Missy’s newest song first put out for public appreciation on Sunday January 12 this year.

An audio version to advertise My Baby whose official video released is billed for Saturday January 25, 2014 has been on YouTube for a couple of days with positive reactions from fans. According to the singer whom TIPTOPSTARS contacted for updates, all is set to host the grand video launch in Montreal where Missy resides with her family (husband Hillary and two daughters Mandy and Serena). “I’m calm and ready for the event, yet excited because I hold My Baby so dear to my heart,” she explained. Also speaking to TIPTOPSTARS Editor, Constance Bih Kimal (Missy’s real names) said she put in everything to make My Baby a sellable piece including her emotions, passion and desire. She indicated; “I feel fulfilled.” In short, Missy’s team is ready, so potential guests can start packaging their support for the singer whose ultimate dream is to get her country to the world stage.

Recorded in the sumptuous Mich2050 studio in Montreal, Canada, Missy, upon rising from an inspirational fit, wrote down My Baby, now presented by SCM Production in two hours. “Then, it took us six weeks to complete the recording of the four-minute song,” the 2013 Horizon Nord Sud, HNSS Excellence Awards best artist revealed. “Even before I fully have this song in the market, I keep being caught listening to it over and over and I think it is thanks to the sound engineer who did a great job,” Missy said further.

Missy BK, a multi-talented artist (radio broadcaster, songwriter, singer and back-up vocalist) has collaborated with several renowned musicians including Meiway and Annie Anzouer and is said to have songs to that effect that are upcoming.

Songs like Set Me Free and others found in Woman For Woman (a mixed taped album she did with eight women from three different continents) have propelled the young but hyper inspired singer to great recognition. Perhaps that explains why Missy secured nominations at some recent highly rated recognition platforms such as the African Entertainment Awards, Canada and the Cameroon Academy Awards, Sonnah recently held in Yaounde, Cameroon.
