The producer, however, turned out to be a predator when she eventually met her.
“I was taken by a certain promoter to go and meet him. But what I did not know was that both the promoter and producer had other ideas in mind,” Landa said in an interview this week.
“Getting there, the producer told me I looked beautiful and young,” Landa recounted.

“I think I was finished that day,” remarked the artist. "I was so young and innocent, I couldn't make out what his intentions were."
To date, having worked under numerous managements, the 'Wire Wire' singer says she’s still apprehensive about working with men.
“My younger sister recently told me she wanted to join music and I told her to wait, because I fear for her."
Landa, who previously worked under Pallaso, is currently managed by Roger Kitaka, popularly known as DJ Roja.
