Episode 050: A Chat with Asaba - A Cameroonian Afrosoul/Afropop Singer & Songwriter
Mary Asaba, artistically known as ASABA, is a female Cameroonian Afrosoul/Afropop singer, songwriter, and state registered nurse. Her music is soulful Afropop, with clear influences from Makossa and Njang. As a State Registered Nurse, she came into music by doing backing vocals for top Cameroonian acts such as Daphne, Mr. Leo, Salatiel, etc.
In 2020, she got signed to Starfish Entertainment which launched her career as a lead performing artist with the release of her single Yele, and since then has released a couple of singles and her first official EP in 2022 titled ”LIGHTER”, which featured acts such as Mr. Leo, Mic Monsta, Locko, Kameni and Cleo Grae.
Her biggest challenge growing up as a young girl was insecurity, not feeling beautiful enough in her own skin and it limited her passion and drive. Music became her safe haven and her voice. Through music, she aims to be that voice that reaches out to people, be their strength, hope, and comfort, and encourages them to embrace themselves in whatever form, shape, and size.
