Singer Misia possesses an astonishing vocal range of five octaves but equally impressive is her humanitarian work abroad.
The artist, who asks to go by her stage name, has been working tirelessly on a wide range of humanitarian causes on the African continent since the early 2000s, using her music as a vehicle to bring communities together.
"A musician in Africa once told me that 'music is language,'" Misia says. "In Africa, where different languages mix, music becomes a language in its own right that helps people to connect."
