Biography

Early life

Anike was born in Nigeria but raised in Round Rock, Texas and then Austin, Texas, United States. [5] [6] Most of her family members were Muslims, except for her mother, who was Christian. [6] [7] At first she was not allowed to go to church, and then started having to get up at 5 A.M. to read the Bible and go with her mother to work so that she could get picked up to go to church. [8] Anike said in April 2020 that she used to joke "that I'd go to Mosque and church". [7] Her curiosity about God led her to search on the internet for Christian rap, and the first result to come up was the 2006 song "Prayin' for You" by Lecrae. [7] In sixth grade, she started playing the flute and studied music through junior high school. [7] She converted to Christianity in seventh grade while interning at a camp in 2009 in Columbus, Texas, a decision for which she encountered opposition from within her family. [6] [7] [9] While at the camp, she also saw a performance by the Christian hip hop collective 116 Clique, which at that time consisted of Lecrae, Trip Lee, Tedashii, and Sho Baraka. [7]

Early career

Despite this initial interest in music, Anike wanted to be a doctor, and enrolled in a health and science program in junior high school. [7] She became interested in rapping after a biology teacher allowed her to compose a rap about cellular transport instead of writing an essay or making a presentation. [5] [7] [10] Despite this, she initially continued in studying health and sciences, even acquiring a license to be a nurse's aid. [7] According to Anike, she had "an internal struggle with the whole rap thing. Africans don’t really mess with creative careers. You either become a doctor or a lawyer." [7] However, she decided to switch majors and went into journalism and public relations at University of Texas at Austin. [6] [7] [9] As a journalist, she anticipated that she could get access to artists, attend concerts, and conduct interviews. [7] She soon started writing for the Christian hip hop website Rapzilla, and started assisting the Christian hip hop record label RMG. [7] She rapped at campus events as a form of Christian ministry. [6] [9] She was a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha which she denounced and left [11] and Sigma Phi Lambda sororities, the National Association of Black Journalists, IGotSole Dance Company, and the Texas Orange Jackets. [6] [12] [13] Her first released record was a feature on the song "B.I.G." by D-Flow on their 2013 album Quarter to Vinci. [14] She released her first single, "No Flex" featuring ikilledmarlon, in May 2016. [15] She performed at South by Southwest in 2016, [16] 2017, [17] [18] and 2018. [19] She did some A&R work for Ace Harris, and 2017, while still pursuing her university education, she began an internship at Reach Records. [20] [21] She released eleven songs during 2018, making the Rapzilla list of 15 Freshman of 2019. [22] [23] Shortly before her graduation in 2018 she was hired as an administrator for the label's A&R. [20] [21]

Reach Records (2018—present)

The following year, after five months after her hire as A&R, she was signed as a recording artist to Reach. [24] [25] She released her debut single on the label, "Blessed Up", in April. [26] The single would be listed the next year on Michelle Obama's playlist. [27] Wande is the first woman signed to the label. [24] She has expressed a hope that her signing will make it easier for other women rappers to pursue a career in the highly male-dominated Christian hip hop genre. "I think it’ll show other labels that you shouldn’t be afraid to sign females. I hear a lot of excuses like, 'Oh it’s expensive' or 'Oh, we don’t know how the market will react to a woman.' 'Will they buy her music?' Obviously, a lot of Christian companies don’t have the money to just casually experiment with a Christian artist because you have to make sure they are profitable. So a lot of women get the short end of the stick because they don’t want to gamble on a woman." [28] She said that it initially took a while for her music to be released because of resistance that she encountered in the music industry because her abilities were undervalued on account of her being a woman. For example, she recounts that "I would fly somewhere, write a whole album, and would ask for the beat and the person wouldn’t send the song. I learned a lot about how people value you." [20] She also has mentioned the difficulty in getting exposure to her music when her lyrics do not discuss sex. [23]

On March 30, 2020, Anike announced her forthcoming debut album, Exit, [29] and the single "Happy" was released April 3, 2020. [30] "Be the Light", featuring Evan and Eris, followed as a single on April 17, 2020. [31] Exit was released on April 24, 2020. [32] Wande also has released music has part of 116 (formerly 116 Clique). [33] She said in an April 2020 interview that her father and her have made peace over her conversion and her decision to pursue a hip-hop music career. [8] On December 4, 2020, she released a three-song mini-EP entitled The Decision. [note 1]

Name change

In July 2024, she changed her stage name from Wande to Anike, [3] a short form of her new middle legal name, Ireoluwa-Anike, a Yoruba phrase meaning "the goodness of God" [37]

Personal life

In addition to English, Anike is fluent in Yoruba. [5]

In the spring of 2022, she married Darius Dees. [38]
