Islam Influenced My Music – Popular Nigerian Award Winning Actress

Asa

Internationally acclaimed recording artist, Asa has revealed that she was once a Muslim and that Islam played an important role in her style of music.

In an interview with My Africa Podcast, Asa, told show host, Andre Blaze, about her Islamic background and how it influenced her music.

“I come from a Muslim background, and I actually had a stint with Islam. I was a Muslim for about 2 years or 3 years. I was a Muslim after high school because I lived with my grandparents. My grandparents were Muslims from Lagos Island, and yes it did influence the way I see things and the way I write.”

Asa further went on to emphasize the inspiration she received, crediting Islam as the major factor behind her song ‘Awé’, a single of her hugely successful self-titled debut album, ‘Asa’.

“It influenced the song ‘Awé’. You see just near where I used to live, there was a mosque, and we had a munedžim who calls out prayers.


“He would early morning by 5 O’clock, ‘Allaaaah’. That was amazing, It just inspired ‘Away’, so yeah, Islam, Christianity is always going to be part of my history.”
