Philippa Zawe

"The vocals are earnest and soulful, the guitars are gentle and romantic, the strings are lilting and hypnotic." (Two Story Melody, 2018) Philippa Zawe is a Birmingham based singer-songwriter of Ugandan heritage. "Philippa has a fantastically controlled vocal style which conveys an enormous amount of feeling and meaning in every single word." (Ryan's Gig Guide, 2018) Her songs are rooted in the genre of Folk with an infusion of Soul. Her inspirations vary from the likes of Otis Redding to Joni Mitchell. Her music has been described as “audio self-care at its finest”(Two Story Melody, 2018). The words she shares are letters to loved ones, prayers, manifestos, stories and contradictions. In September 2017 Philippa Zawe released her debut EP Road of Hope; a tale of loss, grief and hope found along the way. Shortly after that in May 2018 Zawe then released a full band EP titled Disadvantaged.
