With her playful smile and fragile exterior, audiences are usually shocked by the raw aggression and unique flow DinahSty brings to the mic. In her teenage years, Lilian could be found frequenting jams (house parties) and nightclubs; a true slave to the music. Her short temper and thirst for confrontation was demonstrated in fights, acts of vandalism and an infamous protest she lead resulting in hundreds of students walking out of their classrooms in high school. Shortly after the death of her father, who she was very close to, Lilian experienced a second deep and personal tragedy causing her to lose all hope in herself, the world, and God. With her new “atheist like” state of mind, Lilian’s goal was to get on with her life. Her way and by her own rules. If not for the deep and unexplainable personal encounter she had with God, on December 29th 2004, DinahSty would not be the person she is today. It was then that Lilian embraced this deep obligation to give God her all and edify others at the same time.
Hard to believe this gifted woman of God had no prior interest in being a rapper or motivational speaker. Yet by God’s divine providence, DinahSty cannot imagine herself doing anything better with her days. Her past is likened to that of the biblical Dinah, whose curiosity landed her in a compromised position. Her brothers (Simeon and Levi,) knew her value and could not stand to see their sister defiled. They shed a lot of blood to restore her (Genesis 34). In the same way, Lilian is proud to declare that the priceless and atoning blood of her saviour Jesus restored her. She now counts it a joy and privilege to work for HIS majeSty. Lilian hopes to use her past (Dinah) as a tool to help others fight this battle and reclaim a glorious future (majeSty). With her strong personality, lyrical genius and passion for God’s truth, DinahSty is here to prove that ‘eyes have not seen nor ears heard’ what God can do through a willing soul. (1 Corinthians 2:9)
