Diarra Sylla is an upcoming singer and model from Dakar, Senegal. Sylla is part of the Now United group. In mid-2016, she the manager of the Spice Girls and american idol creator Simon Fuller began a talent search for a group he dubbed Now United. He sent representatives to all corners of the world to find talented youngsters to form the group.
Fuller and her team used digital media platforms like Facebook and YouTube to conduct their search, and they found the immensely talented Diarra Sylla. Diarra is currently one of the most popular members of Now United. This piece will focus on her education and her plans for the future.
Diarra’s mother was against his pursuing a musical career.
Diarra was born on January 30, 2001 in Paris, France, and grew up in Dakar, Senegal. Her mother had to travel a lot when Diarra was young, so Sylla was raised by her mother’s cousin. Sylla’s father was not present in her life and it was difficult for her growing up without her parents. She stated in the introductory video of her on Now United’s YouTube channel:
“It wasn’t very good because… I’m thinking about the time I spent without my mom. It wasn’t easy for me because it’s not easy when you’re younger and living without your mom and dad. About my dad… I see him like 2 or 3 times in my life, so I don’t know anything about him.”
Sylla started singing when she was six years old, and at that young age, she saw herself as a singer in the future. Singing was an escape for her and she felt free from all her struggles every time she sang. She started living with her mother when she was 8 years old, but Sylla’s mother didn’t want her to sing. Instead, Sylla’s mother wanted her to concentrate on her studies in the hope that she would one day hold political office.
Diarra had good grades, but singing was her passion. Fortunately, in 2015, her mother allowed her to participate in the Sen P’tit Galle talent show, which she won. From then on, Sylla’s mother fully supported her passion. With the encouragement of her mother, Diarra participated in the Now United talent search and was chosen to represent Africa.
He is now part of Now United, but plans to launch a solo career soon.
Diarra is doing well as part of Now United, but plans to start his solo career soon. However, she doesn’t want to rush into a solo career prematurely. Sylla wants to make a song that resonates with fans and she learned the value of patience while working with Now United. She stated in a Q&A video posted on Febre Teen’s YouTube channel:
“What makes me want to have a solo career is more like wanting to sing my style song-wise. I’ve always liked the R&B type of music, the Afro-beat type of music. And I’m not going to lie. Now United Songs is very danceable, very fun and everything, but I was really looking for my style, so that’s what really makes me want to start my solo career as soon as possible.
Diarra has begun planning her solo adventure, but has faced several challenges. Sylla explained in the Q&A video:
“I definitely ran into some difficulties because things don’t come like that on a gold platter. When you want to do something, sometimes people disagree with you or say, ‘You’re not ready for that.’ You’re not good enough for that. You can’t do this yet, you can’t do that yet. But I don’t really hear that. Honestly, my goal is to get to the point where people are like, ‘Oh, she was right to do this.
Sylla is aware that she will face more challenges, but she has a positive mindset and believes that she will eventually make it.
