Mombasa based song bird Esther Mwangala, popularly known as Adasa has yet again hit the airwaves with her latest release Mahaba Niue after her major breakthrough with her song Nipekeche last year.
Mahaba Niue as she shares is a dedication to her fans for the love and acceptance that she received after her release in August last year.
“The reception for Nipekeche was amazing and honestly even beyond my expectations. Because the nature of the song is Swahili I expected the love to come from Mombasa you know and maybe the same pace as the rest but this one blew over especially in Nairobi. So yes I am very grateful for the love and acceptance, and this is my way of showing that I appreciate” She says.
The 22 years old’s music career started when she was in high school at Lutsangani Secondary school but professionally broke through when she became a live performer at Pride Inn Hotel, Mombasa.
“Well I got that job when I was in the safaricom Auditions.I didn't win in the safaricom audition but got a job as a Lady Singer at pride inn"she said
Adding " What inspired me to continue singing was the cry from guest at pride inn paradise wanting my own songs on my YouTube channel so I had to start recording my own singles so I had to split my time, during off days I would go to the studio and that’s how I recorded my first single Niloweshe. And people really loved it so I recorded the second one NOMA and then now Nipekeche this is the song that gave me media tours and a big exposure to the public ,” says the singer signed under Dallaz Music studios.
During a Media tour in Nairobi, Adasa recorded another single Tunaendana and once it was out it easily won the ears of many, both in Kenya and out.
“This song did veeeery well. I really felt very happy because I never expected it. I remember we wrote it for one hour and recorded it the same night. After Tunaendana Corona came and we stopped going to work so I am still pushing while we are at home and all the quarantining manenoz,” she says.
Her inspiration and biggest role model in the Music scene is the talented Nigerian singer Simi.
“Well Simi inspires me a lot from the word go since in high school life I just loved her melody and all that. I want to be an international musician and spread good music all over the world. I want to work with as many big artists as possible the likes of Simi,” She intimates.
