![Cover Story - PAUSE Meets: @asakemusic
When it comes to music, the quality of authenticity often carries more emotional resonance above all else. For Asake, this is instinctual.
Having been exposed to a rich tapestry of sounds and genres growing up in Lagos, Nigeria, the hot-shot maestro has synthesized the many elements of his upbringing and culture into his own unique approach.
In the short time Asake has reached such heights, it is not only his music that reflects this philosophy but also the passion and integrity embodied in his beliefs that transcend everything he does.
“I say this all the time... [but] God loves me so much”
In PAUSE’s exclusive feature, we delve into the rise of Asake - exploring his journey in the music industry and the wider influences that have shaped his artistry. Music is more than a source of solace or inspiration; it reminds us that our shared humanity is also our greatest strength.
