Zawedde is a Yorkshire based singer-songwriter of Ugandan heritage and her songwriting is inspired by the rich stories that are told around her and that lie within her.
Her songs are rooted in the genre of Folk with an infusion of Soul. Her inspirations vary from the likes of Terry Callier to Joan Armatrading, Nick Drake to Laura Marling. Her music has been described as “audio self-care at its finest” (Two Story Melody, 2018).
The vocals are earnest and soulful, the guitars are gentle and romantic, the strings are lilting and hypnotic.” (Two Story Melody, 2018)
Would You Lean is the most recent single by Zawedde from her upcoming EP – Shudder Pt. I. “‘Zawe’s expressive and eloquent vocals are backed up by a who’s who roster of Birmingham musicians for a result that wows the listener from the first note.” (Glide Magazine, 2022)
Following on from this she performed in Birmingham’s prestigious Town Hall, the largest audience she’s performed for. Not only that, it was opening for one of Zawe’s biggest inspirations, Grammy Award winning and Pulitzer Award Winner Rhiannon Giddens.
