KAMPALA | LIFESTYLE UGANDA ( http://lifestyleuganda.com/) — Through the #YouTubeBlack Voices Music Class of 2022, Ugandan artist Priscilla Zawedde alias Azawi has become the third Ugandan act to appear on Times Square Billboard in New York after Eddy Kenzo and Bobi Wine.

  • From Nakulabye to Times Square billboard, Azawi is taking ‘African music’ to the World.
  • Click here to listen to ‘African Music’ by Azawi.

The African star, who signed an endorsement deal with Guinness for the ‘Black shines brightest’ campaign, is currently on billboards throughout the United States, including in New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and London.

These billboards are designed to create awareness for YouTube’s #YouTubeBlack Voice Music Class of 2022, which Azawi is participating in along with three other African artists such as Omah Lay and C Kay, who represent the continent on the programme.

YouTube Black Voices Music Class of 2022 is a development program funded by YouTube’s Black Voices Fund, designed to directly support, mentor, and promote African-American music artists, songwriters, and producers worldwide.
