B-ahwe

2023 Step Up Awardee

 

Sit down, focus up and give all your attention...that warm vocal of
hers...totally immersive”
— Jack Saunders, BBC Radio 1

Now residing in South London after shaping her sound in Leeds, alt-soul artist B-ahwe’s ability to tell intricately woven stories has begun to turn heads. With a focus on rich vocal arrangements, lush instrumentals and poetic lyricism, she explores themes of femininity, mental health, and relationships, whilst challenging societal ideals.

A recipient of the 2022 Drake YolanDa award, her versatility and arrangement skills have led to her contributing vocals to several artist projects. These include underground UK hip-hop acts Lausse The Cat and Nix Northwest, and jazz-crossover acts Yaatri & Pyjæn.
