IF his two-part coming-of-age debut, Bolanle and Teriza showed a glimpse of his storytelling prowess, rising Nigerian maverick Vasa is stretching his luscious legacy with a moving new song dubbed, Treasure.
The 18-year-old enigma, born Freedom Alli, evolves from the newcomer gaining significant virality on TikTok to a radical new player ready for the spotlight. From winning a school talent show to bagging a record deal with Ize Records circa 2020, Vasa’s heart has kept beating towards one outcome, fulfillment.
Blending heartwarming vocals with moody mid-pitched RnB, Vasa’s distinct writing abilities soar most on ‘Treasure’. Professing his unflinching desire for his love interest, Vasa’s persona in the song represents the sheer significance of vulnerability as a powerful bonding tool in relationships. As he echoes her identity as his “treasure”, his gentle vocals soothe one’s tensions while the percussion glides the song to a crescendo.
With replay value at a peak, Vasa’s inevitable rise has begun to soar on notable radars as a must-watch in Afrobeats. His songs and music videos have been widely played on various TV channels, radio stations, Spotify, and Audiomack inclusively.
As he progresses in his professional journey, VASA maintains an unwavering commitment to his love for music. Presently, he is focusing on his first full-length project, a significant milestone in his career that promises to captivate audiences and showcase his growth as an artist.
