Born Fanny Legie Gbelonou Tamegnon on June 2, 1982 in the Republic of Benin, West Africa, Princess Fanny Magnificat V is an Entrepreneur. Over the years, she schooled in Benin and in Canada. Her high school years were spent at Gbegamey, Complex Scolaire de la Cite,Cours Secondaire Notre Dame des Apotres (CSNDA), Ecole Secondaire de Rochebelle. Later one, she transitioned through Cegep Francois- Xavier Garneau where she gained a Diploma in Health Sciences. She later on obtained a Bachelor in Computer Engineering Technology and another Bachelor in Electronic Engineering Technology through DeVry University from Canada. This led her to experience the Fuel Cell Industry as well as getting a taste of the Oil and Gas Industry meanwhile fanning her artistic side. This along with her faith led her to pursue a Master of Arts in Leadership and Ministry at Ambrose University. Raised in the African Catholic Rite, a rite from the same family of Latin liturgical churches, by her Father Prince Francois - Xavier Tamegnon IV of the Kingdoms of SAVALOU, DANXOME and the empire of NIKKI and her mother, Princess Leocadie Damienne KOSSOU (Ph.D) of the BeninoFulani Kingdom and the Empire of OUIDAH, Towards the completion of her Master Degree, she focused one of  her final graduation projects on  the RITES of the Catholic Church.  Over the years while learning about the patron saints of her family and further deepening her faith, she felt compelled to join another of the Latin Rites of the Catholic Church; the Mozarabic Catholic Rite  only present in SPAIN.  Realizing it was lacking the African Saints Berbers and many of the Arabs saints, she started  gathering the history of the  African Berbers and the Arabs saints on her digital SAINTS' CALENDAR, and unofficially established the following rites to   salvage the Church History of North Africa then, and the Spiritual relationship of AFRICA with the ARAB world now: These are the Berber Latin Catholic Rite, and Africanusarabian Catholic Rite  named after St Africanus. She providentially understood that the Heavenly Court  wanted the feast of the Africanusarabian Latin Catholic Rite to be December 10, when she learned via Youtube that while she was releasing the name on her twitter account that day, it was also the day the Our Lady of Arabia Catholic Church was being consecrated in the Kingdom of BAHRAIN,  and raised to the rank of CATHEDRAL...   Princess Fanny Magnificat V resides in Calgary, Alberta, Kingdom of CANADA where the family moved in her teens while celebrating their faith and serving in the Roman Catholic rite. Meanwhile, after realizing that she would devote her artistic gifts for the glory of the Lord GOD of Hosts, she took on a missionary name, thus going by Fanny Magnificat.As of the 1st quarter of  2020, Princess Fanny Magnificat V was declared eligible for Graduation in the program of the Master Degree in Leadership and Ministry at Ambrose University, and after the pandemic winded down, she had her graduation liturgy on December 15, 2022 at Our Lady of Assumption Catholic Churchone of the churches of her parish; St Bernard's Parish.

Discography

Music! Music was always there and has remained culturally, competitionally, internationally, and music also remained spiritually. From grooving to fine African rhythms to performing with other artists' classic, life has also open the doors to collaborating on composing and producing soundtracks that moves all beings... However, what seemed an adventure has led her to start her own record label St Hildegard Entertainment  under which she continues to swim in the music industry..

  1. Que le seigneur glorifie son NOM a travers l'evangelisation que tu fais a travers tes productions manuelles. La Sainte Trinite veuille sur ton projet de vie. JESUS QUI EST DANS TOI FAIT TOUT POUR TOI ET PAR TOI. J'aime ta Foi, ton Epoir, ta Force et ta Determination en KESUS. IL TE SAUVE, MAINTENANT, DEMAIN ET TOUJOURS.
