In January, we talked to Azawi about why she calls Cindy Sanyu "King" and how she writes songs for Lydia Jasmine, Nina Roz, Pia Pounds, and Eddie Kenzo. She also told him about how she liked him.

UgMuziki: You are dressed like a boy. What is the source of your style?

 Azawi: I've always put a lot of effort into looking good for my interviews because some of them only happen once in a lifetime. That's why I look fly for the PulseUg interview.

 UgMuziki: Do you have any instrumental skills?

 Azawi: "Yes, I'm really good at playing congers." When I'm writing song lyrics, they give me a vibe and a sense of pervasiveness that makes my music sound more African.

 UgMuziki: Why did you choose music instead of sports or something else?

 Azawi: I think I'm good at what I do because I'm passionate about it. I feel like I can only do music because I have so much talent. I don't want to take a chance on other things like acting or sports.

 UgMuziki: How would you describe the kind of artist you are?

 Azawi: I think I'm a rare species with a unique personality. I like things that are hard to guess and can't be predicted. Everyone has always had to be different and have a good sound that people of all ages like, and I am that kind of musician.

 UgMuziki: What did you think of your first album?

 Azawi: When I put out an EP, I was so excited for my first album.

 [EP]. I worked on this album, "African Music," for more than a year and a half.

 I was inspired to make this album because I am a pan-African person and I love everything African because it represents us and sells us to the rest of the world. The album is also influenced by African rhymes and has a lot of content about African arts and music, nature, love and lifestyle, and many other things.

 UgMuziki: From your point of view, are there certain things that every good artist needs to have?

 Azawi: The most important things in music are discipline and humility. Not being afraid of critics, because having some is better than none. These things make you a better artist, but I think they come after talent.

 How long have you been in the music business, UgMuziki?

 Azawi: I started this when I was a senior in high school, so it's been a good time. I have written songs for schools and for well-known Ugandan artists.

 UgMuziki: Have you written music for any famous Ugandan artists?

 Azawi: They are, indeed, there. I've written songs for Lydia Jasmine, Nina Roz, and Pia Pounds, and I've also written songs with Kenzo. Even though most of the songs aren't out yet. They saved the best songs for last because they are good.

 UgMuziki: Think back to when you were in high school. How was your Prom date?

 Azawi: I had no one to go to the prom with. I was, in fact, the day's MC. I was so shy at that time that I couldn't even go on a date. Some things at school were only for the top students, and I couldn't handle the slaying.

 What's the difference between the prom, the sosh, and the leavers' party?

 Azawi: To be honest, I went to schools that were not in the city. I don't even know a lot about all of those things. I only know that they are all parties and that food and drinks will be there.

 UgMuziki: Do you secretly like one of the Ug artists?

 Azawi: Yes, Maurice kirya. He is so cute and also very good at things. If it would save his life, I would trade my kidney on any online platform.

 UgMuziki: Now that he's single, are you going to take your shot?

 Azawi: I don't know anything for sure, but let's see what the future brings. First, let's make that music for now.

 UgMuziki: Cindy or Sheebah?

 Azawi: Cindy, it's the king himself.

UgMuziki: Well, first of all, who are you?

  Azawi: My name is Zawedde Priscilla, and I'm 25 years old. I got my bachelor's degree in business from Makerere University. Even though I can take medicine for it, I hate my short temper. I love being on stage, and live music from a band makes me feel whole. I like problems because they make me think quickly and quickly.

 

UgMuziki: Did anything ever get you kicked out of school?

 

Azawi: I was very well-behaved in school, and because I was an academic, I stayed out of the spotlight. I also liked to sing, dance, and act. I had goals and a bright future to build, so I didn't have time to waste.

 UgMuziki: If you had to choose, would you rather study science or the arts?

 Azawi: I'm not sure I really get how science studies work. I'd rather be on the side of the arts because they are more about making something. When things don't go well at school, you can easily keep yourself busy with arts subjects like fine art, music, dance, drama, and making crafts.

 UgMuziki: When it comes to music, have you had any problems so far?

 Azawi: Making music isn't cheap. If you put in a lot, you'll get a lot back, and vice versa. People will always value good work, and when you have money, everything is easy and set. Before I got signed, I couldn't put out videos because I didn't have enough money, and I only wanted to put out good projects.

 UgMuziki: How does it feel to be signed by Swangz, one of the best record companies?

 Azawi: It's a dream come true, believe me. I can't even explain how I feel, and I still can't believe it's happening. I can't thank God enough for showing me where my life is going. As an artist, being under Swangz is the best thing that has ever happened to me.

 UgMuziki: What venue outside of Uganda would you love to play at?

 Azawi: I've always wanted to perform at the BET, Grammys, Summer, and Reggae fests around the world.

 UgMuziki: Who is your hero?

 Azawi: My hero is my family. They have never given up on me and have always been there for me. They are my biggest fans and biggest backers.

 UgMuziki: What is the best thing you've done so far?

 

Azawi: Putting Swangz Avenue together is so clear. People put my name on my face, and I'm glad. Through Swangz, I've met a lot of big brands and important people in the music business.

 

UgMuziki: Is there a diva in Uganda or elsewhere you'd like to work with?

 

Azawi: Cindy, the king himself. She is a world-class artist who works on her own. She can sing, dance, and write, among other things. In this game, she's a real queen. If I could work with any outside artist, it would be koffee.

 

UgMuziki: What is the meaning of the song Quinamino?

 

Azawi: The meaning of that song is that I really want to be your Queen. You don't need to give much thought to the title. I just switched the order of the words to make it different.

 

UgMuziki: What do you want your fans and supporters to know about 2022?

 

 

Azawi: At first, not everyone will believe in you, but stay focused and make goals. If you really want to reach a goal, you should stand in the front so people can see you. Get a real company that can back and push your projects, and don't forget to use your personality and actions to make magic. Have the self-respect and confidence to stand out and do something. Just be who you are. UgMuziki: You are dressed like a boy. What is the source of your style?
