HAWA B

À propos

solo project by Montreal singer-songwriter Nadia Hawa Baldé HAWA B challenges the limits of creation with her iconoclastic music of plural textures. Her main source of inspiration, soul and jazz blend with alternative rock. The result is a mesmerizing and dense-sounding compilation. Through her first two EPs, Sad in a Good Way (2022) and sadder but better (April 2024), HAWA B reaches out to sadness and embraces its most contrasting variations. Her writing is honest, sharp and in dialogue with others and herself: the sensitive ear will be able to find a remedy in it. It's through her reappropriation of alternative musical genres that HAWA B shatters what is imposed on women and artists of color. On stage, HAWA B hypnotizes with the depth of her voice - evoking the magical accents of siren songs. Polymorphic, she multiplies formulas: from duo to sextet, offering a unique performance every time. HAWA B will release her debut album - better sad than sorry - co-produced with Félix Petit (Les Louanges, Safia Nolin, Hubert Lenoir, FELP) in November 2024 on Duprince Records. → Gala Dynastie - Nomination « Révélation musicale de l’année» EP Sad in a Good Way → In recent years, you've heard her sing alongside Hubert Lenoir, Charlotte Cardin, Greg Beaudin, Marie Gold, Clay and Friends, Dominique Fils-Aimé, Fouki, FELP and many more.
