Angelica Mwani (born April 12, 1989, Nairobi) is a Kenyan singer, songwriter, actress, record producer and dancer. Born and raised in Nairobi, Angelica performed in different singing and dancing events as a child. She rose to fame in 2018 as lead singer in her local home church. Mentored by her late father, Angelica took advantage of her beautiful voice to record different praise and worship songs which encouraged and motivated many people to change their lives for the better.

= Early Life, Education = Angelica Mwani was born in Nairobi, Kenya, to a loving couple who were focused and devoted to the word of God. Angelica's name is a tribute to her Mother’s maiden name. Being a last born in a family of four, Angelica spent much time with her parents who by then were in their sunset years and needed an extra hand at home. Angelica went through the Kenyan educational system and sat for her Senior level exams in 2001. Later on, she joined Nairobi Institute of Business Studies College and trained on Business Management, a course which helped her transform her life and become a successful entrepreneur.

= Work = Angelica started off as a small-scale trader by opening up a boutique in Nairobi at the age 19 years. Her clientele were working class ladies who were in need of beautiful handbags and official dresses. Through her interactions and continuous study of the different taste, preferences and fashion of her clients, Angelica soon expanded her business and incorporated many other fashion items such as shoes, beauty make-ups and casual dresses. With time, her popularity grew and led her to be recognized as one of the best traders within the city.

As fate would have it, unplanned circumstances forced Angelica to close down her store and seek greener pastures in the Cooperate Sector. In 2017, Angelica secured a job and worked as an administer. Through her work, she managed to interact with different personalities and in the process discovered her inner self which mostly focused on encouraging and giving hope. This discovery led to start composing and singing different worship songs which mostly talked about the challenges faced by man and how God comes in to offer peace and solutions.

= Christianity and Music Career = Angelica accepted Jesus Christ at the age of 10 years during the Move-on Convention hosted by Chrisco Church. Through Apostle Harry Das, Angelica discovered the goodness of being a child of God and this promoted her to give up her past sinful life and become a child of God.

In July 5, 2018, Angelica released her first song Sikuachi (a Swahili language phrase from East Africa meaning "I will not leave you"). The song addressed the many benefits of sticking to Christ and trusting in him alone. The song was received well around E.A. and is still being played in different local stations today.

Following the success of her first song, Angelica went on to release her second song Nashukuru (a Swahili language phrase from East Africa meaning "I am thankful") in January 22, 2019. Unlike her previous song, her Nashukuru majorly focused on giving praise to God and exhausting his mighty name.

= Current Projects = Apart working on releasing good music, Angelica is working on different projects that focus on improving the lives of the people around her. Most of the projects she is involved in directly provide revenue for her.
