For DJ/producer and visual artist Asna, music might not have been her first career, but when she was growing up, it was always playing at home. This connected with Asna and the two went on to play a Boiler Room together in 2019. It was the DJ Black Charles, however, from the La Sunday Abidjan collective, who gave Asna the confidence to pursue music professionally. Asna dropped her first release ‘Atalaku’ in July 2021, blending deep house with elements of Congolese rumba and Ghanaian highlife. “I discovered anyoneID’s music by chance on the Internet,” Asna recalls.
