Afrobeats Intelligence

Asa is a superstar from Nigeria. Championed around the globe for her expansive approach to music, she’s Africa’s leading progressive artist, with a catalogue that runs through 5 albums, capturing the soul of her people. It’s hard to think of an artist from West Africa who has traversed as many spaces—with class, creativity, and soul—as she has. With a voice as rich as her catalogue of inspirations, the Nigerian native singer-songwriter and multi-platinum selling recording artist fuses Pop, Afro pop-driven, and soft-soul, taking cues from cross-continental greats– from Fela Kuti to Miriam Makeba; King Sunny Adé to Sade; Tina Turner to Lenny Kravitz.

A soaring vocalist and masterful guitarist, Asa is a calming presence blending Parisian jazz, Yoruba folk and soul into her albums. She writes personal lyrics ranging from her love life and mental health to her extensive travels and interactions with people.
