Born July 26, 1992 in New Britain, CT. Mercedes Roye noticed her love and passion for music, since the age of 8. She never had an idol but from, the different types of music she listened to, she learned how to break down full songs, from the melody, to the instruments, to the tempo and etc.

Besides making music Banga always had a passion for writing which grew from her personal experiences from childhood to now, whether it was a simple journal entry to a poem. Not only does she look up to music artists but has a love for spoken word that inspires her to create the music she does.

Young but very self-motivated, this artist is making the best of her talents. She is signed to the minor label “Getto Pecasso Music Group” also known as G.P.M.G RECORDS  managed by Harold Shipley as an independent artist. You can check out her most recent project “Out with the Old in With the New” hosted by Connecticut’s own DJ Get It Rite on her website, www.bangaroye.com . Previous to tha
