Lakew was born in Gondar, Ethiopia. She moved to the United States when she was 13, and went to high school in Dallas, Texas. The development and release delayed due to the death of her elder sister which led Lakew to foster her nephews in addition to raising her biological son. In 2017, Lakew released her sophomore album Yene Habesha. Her song "Guragew" was released on 26 September 2018. On 10 September 2020, Lakew released "Messay". The music video reached over 915,000 viewers on YouTube as of 28 September, surpassing her 2015 single "Yene Habesha". ==Philanthropy==
