Azawi's Concert Proves 2022 Is Her Year!

Azawi's Concert Proves 2022 Is Her Year! Featured

Fast- rising Ugandan singer Azawi last month announced her maiden concert to her fans. Through her socials, she promised an action-packed show.

"MY MAIDEN CONCERT. 22 JULY. LUGOGO. 3 Years of work packed in one evening of magic. Vibes only, No bad energy.. party mood only," she tweeted.

The announcement immediately got the attention of her fans that in a matter of minutes it was already trending on social media.

It is still this same speed at which tickets to the concert sold. In just a week, early-bird tickets to the show had already sold out!

By 8pm Friday night, the host venue, Zoe Grounds was already full to the brim.

Dressed in white pants that went slightly below her knees and a matching coat and top, the long awaited musician, Azawi real name Priscilla Zawedde finally hit the state at 10pm. She kicked off her performance with her hit, "My Year", sending thousands of revellers into a frenzy mood. This was followed with more bangers; Crazy Love, Ache For You and Gimme.

This was followed by more hit songs; Slow Dancing, Lo Fit, Fwa Fwa, Party Mood and Majje all of which revellers sang word for word. 

She used the show to pay homage to her management by performing one of their hits, "I know", where she was joined by both Vamposs and Benon.

She was also joined by Weasel and Viboyo to pay homage to the late Mowzey Radio by performing "Nyumbani".

She capped up a rather beautiful show by thanking her fans for turning up. "Thank you all for coming out. Thank you for your support. You guys have definitely made this my year!"

True to her promised when announcing the concert, Azawi indeed delivered one of the best shows by a Ugandan musician.

She has since been lauded by many music critics and experts for not only being immensely talented and well behaved and decent.

"Azawi had all her clothes on and the music did all the talking. Let's just say she planned to showcase just the music to her adoring fans. Those who had hoped to see other things sorry this is Azawi not...You can sellout in Uganda with your clothes on. Proof of concept," a fan commented.

"Azawi’s concert should serve as a lesson to these upcoming artistes that you get genuine love and support from people if you make good music, stay humble and avoid drama!!" another fan remarked.

Azawi had earlier remarked the concert would not have been possible if it were not her managers' trust in her. She last week confessed on Tv that she was pretty scared of holding a concert having been in the industry for less than three years but was encouraged by her management. 

“I was scared but what motivated me is that I had so many people that show faith in me saying we can do it. So we went with faith and released the posters on social media, and at that point it was irreversible,” she said.

This was not the first time her management showed their trust in her. Three years ago, we hardly knew who Azawi was. At the time, she was merely a songwriter, a talent she had been nurturing since 2005 when she joined Kika dance troupe as a child. As a song writer, she had written songs for some artists like; Lydia Jazmine, Nina Rose, Eddy Kenzo and many more.

When she set out to sell songs to Swangz Ave in 2019, that turned out to be her turning point. The record label not only bought her songs but also signed her.

Swangz Ave unveiled her as their artist in November 2019.

This year, she released her debut five-track EP titled LO FIT
