Awa has been writing songs since the tender age of ten and got her first publishing deal at Universal Music Publishing at age 15. Her 3X swedish Grammy nominated debutalbum called "Sounds Like Me" was released in 2002. (SONY, KRED) The then 19 year old Awa produced and programmed 9 out of 13 tracks on the album and co-produced 3. This earned her the first swedish Grammy "Producer of the year" nomination ever given to a female. During all of this time she's had the opportunity to work and write with several great talents in the industry such as Mark Hill(of the Artful Dodger) who co-wrote and produced the track "Look at me" on the album. Other names include dynamic duo Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers, standing behind major Pop/RnB sensation Rhianna! She also had the great honour of accompanying Wyclef Jean on the arena The Globe in Stockholm replacing Mary J Blige, performing the smash "911", as well as performing with Will Smith and Wyclef toghether on a later occasion. Having a swedish mom and a gambian dad, her music has always had that mix of traditional swedish melody thinking blended with a backbeat rhythm.
.Awa's become a house-hold name within house/dance music since being featured on "The annual" Ministry of Sound compilation for the third time with the 2011 release which features the track " Just a friend" after being featured in both the 2008 and 2010 editions with tracks "Every word" toghether with Tyken and the track "I've been looking" toghether with Seamus Haji and Romain Curtis.
