Welcome to the wonderful and vibrantly kaleidoscopic world of Asya.
Born in Sweden to Sudanese parents (Father: Doctor / Mother: Artist)
and steeped in a myriad of disparate musical influences ranging from
Aretha Franklin, Badi Mohammed Al-Tayyib to Umm Kulthum, Asya's destiny was indelibly forged from early childhood.
Having spent her formative years travelling between Sweden, Egypt and
London, Asya's love for singing and performing, inspired by the everyday
conflicts of life and love, prompted her to start writing her own songs at the tender age of fifteen.
Her musical style is an Afro-fusion. It flows seamlessly between blues and soul with a contemporary twist influenced by her African and Middle-Eastern upbringing. Often alternating between languages, Asya's soaring vocals give an almost hypnotic feel against a strong rhythmic backdrop.
Songs about women who are strong, confident, yet exposing an arresting
honesty and deep-seated vulnerability, without being deemed fallible in any shape or form… Much like Asya herself.
