AWAL grew up in a small town in Central Pennsylvania but quickly found that she was meant for the city life; NYC, specifically. 

​

Being adopted by two pastors and one of the only black girls in town, AWAL experienced a lot of bias and micro-aggressions that only fueled her fire to be heard and represented in a world that doesn’t see you for what’s inside first.

​

Encouraged by the love of her family, AWAL found her birth family last year and learned that music really is a part of her.

​

AWAL’s music takes her small town vibe mixed with her sultry voice to create a sound that makes you wanna move and feel sexy, and empowered.
