Kefa Ubwenge is a graduate of City Heights Preparatory Charter School and the recipient of a 2023 YoungArts award in voice/popular (pop), recognized with an honorable mention for her artistic achievement.
It was the first gentle step outside of Kefa Ubwenge’s comfort zone last year, that led to the next one. The first step was competing in a regional arts competition, which was also her first time singing for anyone but herself.
“I was completely shocked. Floored. I really didn’t think I would win because it was a national competition. I know there is so much skill and talent throughout the country, and I didn’t know how I fit in,” she says. “It’s a great honor! It gives me resources that I didn’t have before, like coaching, mentorship, and master classes. It’s really what I’ve been looking for all this time; it’s my primary reason for entering into these contests.
