Early life
Enny's family came from Nigerian heritage. She was born and raised in Thamesmead, South East London. She lived with her parents and was one of six siblings. Enny’s interest in music started in early childhood. She experimented with music, influenced by her family. Her father taught her to play instruments including the keyboard. Enny also participated in a local street dance group in which they played and danced to American hip-hop. She inherited an interest in jazz, gospel music and hip-hop from her friends and family that would later have an impact on her music. After high school she attempted to enter the film industry for two years. After finding herself unsuccessful and unsatisfied with her career path, she decided to focus on music and freestyling.
Career
Enny began her music career by releasing freestyle videos on YouTube. These videos lead to her self-released debut single, "He's Not Into You", in April 2020. The single features "harsh truths" about dream relationships. With this hit single, Enny was recognized and introduced to the studio program Root 73 by her manager Pascal. She would later be scouted by English singer-songwriter Jorja Smith who signed her to her own label FAMM. She would later release "Peng Black Girls" which was produced in 2021. She also released a remixed version of the song featuring Smith.
