Multi-talented artiste, Asa, during her just concluded show revealed she had to wait 10 hours to get her first audition with a popular band in France.

This was made known by the brilliant songwriter at her Asa Encore concert which took place on Saturday night at EKO Hotel & Suites, Lagos.

In her words:

“When I first go to France, I used to sing and play my guitar at bars. One day, someone walked up to me and told me about a band that had just won a Grammy saying I could audition,” she said.

“So I went there, got there on time (that is a problem for me) in the cold. I had just come from Lagos without warm clothes.

“I got there and they told me to wait that they were rehearsing for their show and I waited 10 hours.

“I was hungry, mad and was asking myself what are you doing here, why don`t you just leave. They had finished and they were packing up and someone remembered that I was outside.

“I was invited to sing and I put all that emotion, all the sadness, pain and anger in the song. On the day of their show, they gave me two minutes to perform, I got signed and my first album was released.

“If I had left that day, I don`t know what would have happened.”
