African Music Album is taking Swangz Avenue star Azawi to places she has been and never been before. The 16-track album she and the her record label released on this year’s Independence day has appeared on Time Square Billboards in New York City, US.
Azawi who started singing just two years ago is now the third Ugandan star to appear on the famous and prestigious Billboard! The other two are multi-award winning musician, Eddy Kenzo and NUP darling Bobi Wine. Unlike Bobi who appeared there because of politics, Kenzo and Azawi featured on the Billboard purely because of music.
And for Azawi’s case, she is the first female artist from Uganda to appear there.
