In this never before seen 2015 interview with Nigerian singer, Asa, she sits with Funmi Iyanda to discuss her album Bed Of Stones.
They also spoke about Asa’s personal journey as a woman where she revealed that she lost her virginity at the age of 28 and she says she’s not proud of it.
Born Bukola Elemide, A?a was born in Paris, France to her Nigerian parents. Her family returned to live in Nigeria when she was two. A?a grew up in a small town near Lagos, in the south-western part of Nigeria. Twenty years later, A?a returned to Paris where her life as an artist took off.
Whenever Asa came home from school in Nigeria, she discovered musical acts like Erykah Badu, D’Angelo, Raphael Saadiq, Lauryn Hill, Femi Kuti and Angélique Kidjo. This was while she was in pursuit of educational excellence, and these musical acts are whose footprints she dreamed of following.
