Azawi
Azawi (Priscilla Zawedde) is a Ugandan singer and author of Kampala, one of the most important voices in East Africa since her EP "Lo Fit" and the album "African Music".
Priscilla Zawedde, known as Azawi, was born on 2 February 1996 in Kampala, Uganda. She started as a dancer in the Kika troupe in 2005 and then joined Crane Performers and performed to China, before turning to writing songs for other Ugandan artists, including Eddy Kenzo, Nina Roz and Lydia Jazmine. She graduated from Makerere University in business and signed in 2019 at Swangz Avenue, one of the country's top labels.
Her first album, "Quinamino", appeared in January 2020 and dominated Uganda's airwaves; he opened the way to the EP "Lo Fit" (2020), with "Repeat It" and "Crazy Lover", and then to the album "African Music" (2021), carried by "My Year", "Slow Dancing", "Majje" and "Party Mood". She became the first Ugandan artist to appear on Times Square panels in New York and Los Angeles, and in 2022 gave a great concert noticed in Lugogo.
His career continues with the album "Sankofa" (2023), with pan-African collaborations (Sauti Sol, Konshens, Bensoul...), singles such as "Ten Over Ten", "Fwa Fwa Fwa" and "Elevated", and the project "Azawi Lost Files" (2025). Swangz Avenue renews its confidence by signing a new multi-album contract, presented by the label as the beginning of a resolutely international phase.
