Urawo
Urawo is a Nigerian born artist whose music goes beyond the surface to the depths of those who are misunderstood, underrepresented and lonely. Her name meaning “Star in the Ekiti dialect reflects her desire to be a light to the darkness for herself and more like her. Her music blends alternative sound, RnB with an influence of soft rap, coupled with her inclusion of dark themes that tackle heartbreak, societal disappointment, deconstruction and being queer in a world that constantly fights against her freedom the sealing to her magic is the light she holds as a black woman pushing boundaries. Urawo’s goal is to create a community that’s welcoming, a place you never feel judged, a place you never have to fear rejection, a home.
