Shourtie—Artist Biography

Shourtie (born Sarah Moraa) is an emerging Afro-fusion music artist whose dynamic sound and cultural versatility have made her one of East Africa’s most exciting rising talents. Hailing from Suneka in Kisii County, Kenya, Shourtie currently splits her time between Nairobi and Kampala, where she continues to expand her musical reach.

A Multilingual, Genre-Blending Sound

Shourtie’s music defies simple categorization. She fuses Afrobeat, dancehall, Afro-pop, and Afrodancehall rhythms with lyrical dexterity, blending Ekegusii, English, Swahili, and occasional other languages in her songs. This multilingual approach not only reflects her cultural roots but also enables her to connect with diverse audiences across East Africa and beyond. Her linguistic versatility is especially showcased in her most recent project, the EP A Love Story, II, released in late 2025.

A Journey Through Music and Identity

Shourtie first gained serious attention with earlier singles like “Obwanchani” (2022), “Kadenge” (2024), and “Shoot Your Shot” — tracks that cemented her reputation for catchy melodies and heartfelt lyricism. As her catalog grew, so did her ability to explore themes ranging from love and self-worth to dancefloor energy and ambition.

Her 2025 single “Sitaki” — meaning “I don’t want” in Swahili — became particularly notable for its empowering message about boundaries, self-respect, and authenticity in relationships. The song received buzz around East African media after Shourtie surprised listeners with a live debut on XFM Nairobi, generating trending conversations across social platforms.

Regional Reach and Media Impact

Shourtie’s influence extends throughout the region: her music has been featured on Ugandan television and she’s undertaken media tours in Kampala—including appearances on NRG Radio—where she performed tracks like “Party”, “My G”, “97”, and “Money”, further solidifying her presence in East African pop culture.

Influences and Artistic Vision

Inspired by powerful female forces such as Tiwa Savage from Nigeria and Cindy Sanyu from Uganda, Shourtie brings a confident, expressive energy to her craft, infusing contemporary Afro-sounds with personal storytelling and cultural pride. Her dedication to artistic evolution and emotional honesty positions her as one of the breakout voices shaping the next generation of African music.
