“Zeritu Kebede was born in Addis Ababa […] 1984. [..] Zeritu attended Lazarist Catholic elementary school. Kebede became interested in music since she was a young. She went on stage for the first time while she was a fifth grader, singing a Michael Jackson’s, “Will You Be There” Later, she started writing songs and short plays with her friends and performing them. That is the time she decided that it is what she wanted to do for the rest of her life. […] After high school, Kebede decided to start singing professionally. Through her connection with Henok Mehari, a singer and keyboard player, she went on to join Sweet Band. But after only one gig at the Famous Lion’s club the band was replaced. Kebede then auditioned to join the renowned Express Band, and was hired.[…] After eighteen months in the studio, in September 2005, Kebede’s self-titled album Zeritu was released.
