UP Music: Kwame Liv for #DXD2015 Gala Awards

Liv is a mysterious being and doesn’t reveal much about her life in interviews, everything about her is enigmatic and only revealed in her music. In this way, she’s disrupting the music industry’s standards of having a female musician reveal everything about herself, physically and mentally, KWAMIE LIV wants us to focus on her sultry voice and enchanting stage presence.

KWAMIE LIV is a Zambian-Danish singer and songwriter who debuted with the single 5AM in January 2014 and was soon discovered by legendary DJ Gilles Peterson who exposed her Scandinavian electro-soul musical sound to underground music lovers globally. Soon enough she became France’s favorite new artist with sold out shows all around Paris in 2015, and featured in numerous high fashion magazines.

KWAMIE LIV was raised in Nairobi as well as Copenhagen, Dublin, Istanbul, Johannesburg, and Dhaka. For Kwamie this performance will symbolize a return home and her first performance in the continent.
