"I came from a Muslim background, and I actually had a stint with Islam. I was a Muslim for about 2 years or 3?" Asa said.
"It was after high school I lived with my grandparents. My grandparents were Muslims from Lagos Island, and yes it did influence the way I see things and the way I write."
Speaking Further, Asa emphasised more on the inspiration she received, crediting her religion, Islam as the major factor behind her song 'Awé', a single of her hugely successful self-titled debut album, 'Asa'.
"It influenced the song 'Awé'. You see just near where I used to live, there was a mosque, and we had a munedžim who calls out prayers.
"He woke early morning by 5 O'clock and shout 'Allaaaah'. That was amazing, It just inspired 'Away', so yeah, Islam, Christianity is always going to be part of my history."
