With linguistic agility, Ezra fluidly sings and raps in English, Kinyarwanda, Luganda, Zulu and Swahili. Growing up as a refugee in Uganda before moving back to his home country Rwanda after the 1994 genocide, Ezra is driven to support Rwandans through his music to rebuild their country. Ezra is joined by Knowledge Majon (Zimbabwe) on drums, Ettienne Mangala (Kenya) on bass, Josh (Nigeria) on piano and Brian Thiessen (Canada) on guitar.
