• ‘One of the UK’s best festivals’

    Gigwise
  • Hawa B (QC, Canada)

    HAWA B is a singer-songwriter who defies conventions. Her music creates a free space that invites new perspectives : some will hear rock, others R’n’B, jazz or electro…a bold mix, meticulously executed, leading to a unique and striking proposition.

    She sets an energy that inspires twerking while head-banging, laughing and crying, all in the same breath. Her art seeks to redefine the idea of perfection by celebrating differences and reclaiming flaws, without shame or filter. HAWA B crafts a universe where diversity becomes a valuable resource for learning and creating. It’s a call to authenticity and personal growth.

    Having shared the stage as a backing singer with artists such as Hubert Lenoir, Charlotte Cardin, Clay and Friends, and Dominique Fils-Aimé, HAWA B is now the winner of a GAMIQ award for her EP “sadder but better”. Her first solo album, “better sad than sorry”, was released in November 2024 on Duprince Records and is nominated for a GAMIQ award for Soul R&B Album of the Year.

    In 2025, HAWA B released three singles: “Je danse dans ma tête” (a cover of Céline Dion), “Je veux rester” (featuring Greg Beaudin), and “oui non I know”.
