who are they, then
Awa Mbaye (Uh-wuh Mmm-bye), From Eora / Sydney survives on a diet of pubs and playlists soundtracking a world on fire. Their musical mission is to paint a place where both them and their listeners feel empowered to finesse their own identity rather than have it decided for them.
Curating a bouquet of dance, rnb, indie and alt pop Awa Mbaye’s sonic direction hooks you with an unexpected focus. Navigating themes of selfhood, self-love and a revivified social contract, Awa is here, on their own terms, with a voice that will do anything but stay quiet.
