The young artiste has two different personalities; Cindy Raw is a Rap persona and Cindy as the soulful character who is popular with the fans. “Cindy is a more calm and collected sultry and powerful voice, while Cindy Raw is more of a gangster as she is a rap artiste,’’ said Munyavi.

She said being versatile is a blessing one cannot refuse. “The alter ego has nothing to do with illuminati, Cindy and Cindy Raw is one person expressing her feelings differently. I think it is a blessing to be a versatile artiste, one cannot take it away from me,’’ said Cindy.
