AKUA is a Canadian-Ghanaian artist based in Los Angeles. Her career-start was marked by the release of her debut EP 'One's Company' in 2013. The same year, AKUA was invited to tour as a backup-singer for Solange and suddenly found herself performing on some of the world's most-celebrated stages. It was during this chapter that AKUA lent her vocals to a range of other distinguished artists including Robyn, Dev Hynes/Blood Orange, Charli XCX, Chance the Rapper, Kindness and Dean Blunt. In 2017, AKUA returned to writing and producing her own music, which culminated in the creation of her debut album ‘Them Spirits.’ Released in March 2019, the album is a seven-song monument to the experience of losing her father to cancer and the complex period of grief which ensued. Having written, recorded and produced the album largely on her own, AKUA released 'Them Spirits' independently and has since been shipping-out records worldwide from her second floor apartment in Los Angeles.
