Profile of the week: Asa

The story of Asa (Pronounced Asha) begins in Lagos, Nigeria where she found a home in her father’s extensive and eclectic collection of records from soul classics to traditional Nigerian music. Starting to sing at a young age, Asa was inspired by the sounds and messages of artists such as Marvin Gaye, Fela Kuti, Bob Marley, Sunny Ade and Ebenezer Obey who served as touchstones when she later began crafting her own songs. It wasn’t until she was studying in Paris that she truly formed her musical style, immersing herself in the songs of her musical contemporaries — Erika Badu, D’Angelo, Rafel Saadiq, Lauryn Hill and Angelique Kidjo.

Growing Up
Asa grew up in Lagos, a city teeming with people and buzzing with energy but also home to a deep-rooted spirituality...

Imperfection. This video has a retro feel to it, Asa said "This time, I felt different: I wanted to create something that would help people come out of sad moods and feel uplifted". With Asa, you never really know what to expect...tight video, nice colors and lovely concept...enjoy watching.

New Music: Share My blessing - NaetoC ft Asa

Storm in the Building again. It looks like the Storm camp has plans to add melody to every single day in 2011, first it was the 7 Star General with 'Nigeria love' (our previous post), now Super C is at it.
The track we have been waiting for so long is here and as expected the joint is dope. Naeto C spits though provoking bars as you cant help but be grateful for 2010. Asa did the rest. World class.  


 ''...my experience justifies where am headed; so when they talk about the things that I do wrong; I just pat them on the back like a new-born..." - Naeto C
What a song to start off with 2011. Enjoy!
