#2 Asa
One of Africa’s most well-known artists, Asa makes singing look effortless. Her global hit song Jailer is a testament to the depth of talent she wields.
Constantly making a case for Nigerian musicians, Asa combines absolute skill, and a flawless command of her act, to produce hits one after another.
The 30 Year Old World Music singer, born in Paris and raised in Lagos, is inspired by the Sounds of Marvin Gaye, Fela Kuti, Bob Marley, Sunny Ade and Ebenezer Obey.
The 2011 Best Female Act at the French Music Awards is without doubt, one of the finest singers the world of music has ever produced.
Her 2010 effort Beautiful Imperfection was a big success that followed the now-famed 2007 debut, which also saw her at her utmost best fusing pop, R&B, funk, soul and reggae, an end product that wowed the world.
