Born November 9, 1992, Nandy is a Tanzanian singer and songwriter. 

She won the All Africa Music Awards in the best female artist in East Africa category in 2017.

Nandy has released popular songs ''Ninogeshe", "Wasikudanganye" and "Njiwa" which she features Kenyan artist Willy Paul, that have gone viral especially in Mombasa.

Nandy was born in Moshi, Tanzania to Mary Charles, a tailor and Charles Mfinanga, a mechanic. 

The name Nandy is shortened from her real name Nandera. She started performing at a very tender age. At 5 years of age, she was an active member of her Sunday school choir at KKKT Lutheran church in Moshi. 

She attended Mawenzi Primary School and later joined Lomwe High School where she became the head of the school choir. 

After high school, she joined the College of Business Education (CBE), Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

She is currently Tanzania’s Goodwill ambassador for UNICEF’s Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene programme (WASH) that works in over 100 countries worldwide to improve water and sanitation services, as well as basic hygiene practices.

 The programme focuses on providing people with clean water and basic toilets.

 In April 2018, Nandy and Diamond Platnumz were arrested by the Tanzanian government for sharing ratchet content online which breaches the law and culture of Tanzania. The case would later be dropped.
