Kanwulia: Spreading Joy Through Music and Touring Nigeria

Kanwulia, a Nigerian-American artist, is gaining recognition for her unique blend of R&B, afrobeats, pop, and jazz. Having completed her studies at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, Kanwulia is embarking on a tour and releasing her latest album in Nigeria.

Bringing Joy Through Music

Kanwulia’s Delta Igbo name signifies 'let’s rejoice', aligning perfectly with her mission to uplift and bring happiness to audiences through her performances and musical compositions. She embraces a mix of musical genres, reflecting her diverse creative talents and desire to connect with fans across various musical landscapes.

Influence of Cross-Cultural Experiences

Kanwulia attributes her rich, versatile sound to her experiences living between Nigeria and the United States. These cross-cultural movements have greatly impacted her music, allowing her to absorb different sounds and incorporate them into her work, creating fresh and engaging music.

Embracing Her Dual Heritage

Her album 'Amerikana' was inspired by her childhood in Lagos, where she was often viewed differently because of her distinct accent and cultural nuances. However, she learned to embrace these differences, which have influenced her album and led her to choose Nigeria for its release. Kanwulia seeks to celebrate her dual heritage and share her creative vision with her home audience.

A Decade of Musical Journey

While 'Amerikana' is not her first foray into the music world, Kanwulia has a significant catalog of work available on streaming platforms. She has spent more than a decade in the music industry, consistently evolving and sharing her voice with the world.

Celebrating With a Tour

Kanwulia is also planning a city tour in Nigeria, dubbed ‘Who’s That Girl’, which will allow fans to experience her music live. The tour is a reflection of her charisma and the intrigue she brings to the music scene, which is encapsulated by her song ‘Ego’ featuring the line 'who’s that girl with too much sauce?'

Partnerships and Future Plans

Collaborating with Inspiro Productions and Volkano Productions on her visit to Nigeria, Kanwulia looks forward to connecting with a broader audience. While her current visit is exciting, fans can anticipate more frequent visits and new music releases in the near future.
