UA

major - (1995 - )

She calls herself UA. It is pronounced "oo-ah" and means both "flower" and "kill" in Swahili, meanings that are antithetical. The music of this singer-songwriter combines several styles together, such as pop, jazz and rock, and she differentiates herself from other artists by giving her own unique twist to the compositions.

She is not only active as a solo-artist but she also has a number of collaborations to her name, and is occasionally seen on television as a presenter or actress.
