Soul singer, songwriter and recording artist, Asa
is a year older today!
Born Bukola Elemide, Aṣa was born in Paris,
France to her Nigerian parents on the 17th of
September, 1982. Her family returned to live in
Nigeria when she was two. Aṣa grew up in
Alagbole, a border town in Ogun state near
Lagos, in the south-western part of Nigeria.
Twenty years later, Aṣa returned to Paris where
her life as an artist took off. Her stage name
“Aṣa” means “Hawk” in Yoruba.
Asa developed an interest and inspiration in
music following her fathers fine collection of
records featuring soul classics and Nigerian
music, including Marvin Gaye, Fela Kuti, Bob
Marley, Aretha Franklin, King Sunny Adé,
Ebenezer Obey and Lagbaja.
In 2004, Aṣa met her manager and friend, Janet,
who introduced her to Cobhams Emmanuel
Asuquo, who in turn became her musical
partner and producer.
The release of the album ‘ASA’ saw her win the
prestigious French Constantin Award in 2008,
where she was voted best fresh talent of 10
singers or groups by a jury of 19 music-industry
specialists in Paris.
Her second album, Beautiful Imperfection, was
released on 25 October 2010. The lead single
from Beautiful Imperfection is titled “Be My
Man” and was released in late September. A
video for the song was released in mid-October.
She also performed with Féfé at the Sydney
Festival in 2011.
