Kumari D’Shay is an artist originally from PG county, Maryland. She is an actress, singer-songwriter, lyricist, musician, producer, and graduate, Cum Laude, of the illustrious Spelman College. She has since moved to Atlanta, and has continued progressing in her career. Recently, she put out an inspiring video titled, “LIES WE TELL.”
