AWORI is a Swiss-Ugandan artist currently living in Paris. She was raised in Kampala where her late grandfather, a carpenter and music enthusiast who played piano + guitar, inspired her to take on a musical practice. She wrote her first songs at 9 years old and regularly presented them at school concerts, in addition to performing traditional dance and theater.
In 2013, she was sought out by Berlin-based singer DENA who found her thanks to a YouTube cover video. Shortly thereafter, she moved to Berlin to learn the basics of live finger-drumming and tour with DENA as a background vocalist & instrumentalist.
AWORI is currently working on her joint album with Twani, RANAVALONA, set to be released via Galant Records on March 5th 2021.
