[WATCH] Vinka Talks Fashion, Her latest hit Single ‘Bailando’ & How Becoming a Mother Changed Her Life

By Isa King | May 26, 2023
It’s impossible to chart a list of the top entertainers of 2023 and leave out Vinka. If you don’t know her, she’s the girl the internet always refers to as ‘the girl who sings like a man’. Vinka has managed to put all her critics to shame, soaring high and higher. Vinka’s name is synonymous with hits at this point, and her recent fun melody “Bailando” is just that and more. With impeccable fashion and danceable melodies, this song has been on repeat for us.
The star sat down with Ruth Kalibaala Bwanika to talk everything from her jaw-dropping sense of style to her latest single Bailando, and how becoming a mother changed her life.
