The 29 year old artist didn't forget where she was coming from and that initially brought her found fame all over the world.

Africa continent give thanks to her soulful musical melodies, which have since proved popular with audiences in Europe and beyond.
She has since opened live shows for the musical superstars such as Beyonce, Snoop Dogg, Akon and John Legend.
But despite sampling the sweet taste of global recognition, it is Nigeria and Africa that remain the singer’s main sources of inspiration.
“I’m proud to be Nigerian and I also hope other Nigerians feel proud that they have a great country, she adds”
“People have preconceptions of Nigeria … so for other Nigerians we need to know that we cannot hide, we need to defend, and how do we defend, we need to be good at whatever we do,” she adds.


Asa is one of the hotest and latest among the crowd in a long line of African artists to make it big on the world stage.
