Nneka Lucia Egbuna (born 24 December 1980) is a Nigerian hip hop/soul singer, songwriter and actress. She sings in both Igbo and English.
Since 2003, Nneka has been working closely with the hip hop beatmaker DJ Farhot, a producer living in Hamburg. As a young singer she first gained public attention in 2004 while performing as an opening act for dancehall reggae star Sean Paul at Hamburg Stadtpark. After much acclaim, Nneka was given a green light to record her first album.
After releasing her debut EP The Uncomfortable Truth with the music label Yo Mama's Recording Company, she performed on her first tour with Patrice Bart-Williams in April 2005, playing shows in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
She finished recording her first album in the autumn of 2005. Entitled Victim of Truth, it was released not only in Germany but also in England, France, Netherlands, Nigeria and Japan. Garnering rave reviews from the media, the UK's Sunday Times later declared it “the year’s most criminally overlooked album”, comparing it favourably to 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill'.

Plot: "Take the Spotlight" is the story of Artie Rain, a Dallas, Texas film director who has been hired by two Dallas based African Film producers to direct a movie about human trafficking called "Finding Promise". Artie sees in this venture, a chance of a lifetime because for the first time in his life, he has all the funds he needs to make a film. He must now make or die trying, a masterpiece that must "Take the Spotlight" wherever screened. Artie pursues this goal with a maniacal zeal equal to that of Napoleon Bonaparte, a man whose dedication, meticulousness and commitment to winning Artie also embraces. This also meant that everything else in his life such as his wife Arianna, his sick mother Khloe, his cast and crew, all came latter to him. All that mattered was that his film when completed must take the spotlight. Some unavoidable circumstances on set and off set however soon challenge Artie to compromise his approach and beliefs. Would he bow down to the will of everyone else or would he continue to hold fast to the methods of a dead despot?

On her new album My Fairy Tales, Nigerian born / London based singer Nneka speaks on issues such as racism, sexism, tribalism and love. Her songs often emphasize issues of capitalism, poverty and war. The fiercely political artist joined Jesse Menendez to touch on those subjects and talk about the "lighter" approach she used in addressing them this time around.

Everything changes,
remember when humans had to live in cages
and now we own our own stages
time, yes age turns our pages (2x)
Looking out of my window, chilling warm relaxing my speed
Watching the people right back down on the streets
Asking myself how I feel as I see d living passing me
Everybody in his own but on the whole Life is still the same
Happy Family a boy loves a girl a mother breastfeeding her child
A taxidriver has just lost his job
And still it is not a matter of this world being
People manifest within themselves
Chorus:
Everything changes,
remember when humans had to live in cages
And now we own our own stages
Time, yes age turns our pages
A mother gives birth to her baby,
in that moment sche feels it ist her one and only property
She’d hold on it
She’ll do anything to protect it from insecurity
Just like seeds develope into flowers
And children develope into adults
Love can turn into hate and the truth u see could be deceit
Consequences do not arise without a cause
Causes could make u win or loose
Chorus 2x
What u make outta it is what u become
Some happy some are lonesome
Changes, changes always comes
