She was introduced to music in 1983 by her elder brother Ben Decca, a prominent Makossa singer. She performed with her brother and other artists such as Jean Jacques Goldman before launching her solo career in 1989 with her debut album entitled Besoin d'amour.[1] After five Makossa albums published between 1989 and 2001, she made her return to the Cameroonian music scene in 2014 with a gospel album called Mouna.[2] BiographyChildhood and family lifeBorn in Cameroon, in the city of Douala, Decca is the sixth child in a family of eleven children.[3][4] Her father was an automobile expert and her mother was a teacher. With four famous artists including her elder brother Ben, her younger sister Dora and her younger brother Isaac, her family is well known in the Cameroonian music scene.[5] She is also the niece of the late Eboa Lotin, and great granddaughter of musician Lobe Lobe Rameau, one of the pioneers of Makossa.[6] Decca is married to Jean Paul Nana Sandjo, former CEO of Cameroon Airline Camair-Co, with whom she has several children.[7] EducationDecca holds a DEA in Communication (Sciences of Education), obtained in France in 1998.[8] After obtaining her Baccalauréat, Decca left Cameroon for France to continue her studies. She obtained a DEUG in Culture and Communication, a BTS in Management Tools, as well as a Bachelor and a Master's degree. CareerShe was introduced to music in the early 1980s by her elder brother, Ben, with whom she made choruses.[9][1] In 1983, she was featured in his single "Na sengui bobe" which was a great success.[10] In 1987, she was featured in the chorus of the song titled À nos actes manqués, by the French singer, Jean-Jacques Goldman.[11] She performed alongside her brother in the period between 1984 and 1989, before starting her own solo career. Decca released her first album in 1989 with the title Besoin d’amour.[12] The album, featuring five songs, sold more than 150,000 copies in Cameroon and helped her gain popularity. In 1993, she released a second album, Doi La Mulema, which was even more successful than her first, which helped her gain international acclaim.[4] Five years after the success of Doi La Mulema, Decca returned to the music scene with the release of her third album called Appelle-moi-Princesse, which brought her a number of awards including: Best female album of the year, Best selling female of the year, and the Bertrand Folon Award for artistic maturity.[8] In 2001, she released her fourth album, "Donne-moi un peu d'amour". The album included eight tracks and was produced by J.P.S Productions.[13] She later started her own label called GNS Productions, which is still active. She has also produced the albums of several emerging artists such as Joly Din and her younger brother, Isaac Decca.[14] Mouna, the comebackThirteen years after the release of her fourth album, Donne-moi un peu d'amour, Grace made a comeback with an album which was different from her previous four.[15] Namely, for her fifth album, Decca chose gospel music.[16] The album, titled Mouna (Burden in the Douala language) was produced in the United States by George Duke, who also wrote two songs on the album.[11] Thanks to this album made up of thirteen songs sung in English, French and Douala, Decca was able to perform alongside renowned musicians such as: Sheila E., Jeffrey Osborne, Jonathan Butler, Chino XL, Paul Jackson Jr., Kirk Whalum, Alex AI, Teddy Campbell, Howard Hewett and Erik Zobble.[10] DiscographyAlbums
