Aṣa
Aṣa (pronounced "Asha"; born 17 September 1982) is a Nigerian French singer, songwriter, and recording artist. Her stage name "Aṣa" means "Hawk" in Yoruba.
Early life
Born Bukola Elemide, Aṣa was born in Paris, France to her Nigerian parents. Her family returned to live in Nigeria when she was two. Aṣa grew up in a small town near Lagos, in the south-western part of Nigeria. Twenty years later, Aṣa returned to Paris where her life as an artist took off.
Whenever Asa came home from school in Nigeria, she discovered musical acts like Erykah Badu, D'Angelo, Raphael Saadiq, Lauryn Hill, Femi Kuti and Angélique Kidjo. This was while she was in pursuit of educational excellence, and these musical acts are whose footprints she dreamed of following.
Background
Aṣa was the only female child in the family and had three brothers. At a young age she began to look after the house during her parents' frequent absences. This is when Aṣa started to sing. Over the years her father had built up a fine collection of records featuring soul classics and Nigerian music, including Marvin Gaye, Fela Kuti, Bob Marley, Aretha Franklin, King Sunny Adé, Ebenezer Obey and Lagbaja and Asa went on to draw inspiration from them.

Stay Here
by: Lee DewyzeI won't say a word
'Cause that only makes it worse
When lies are told and tears are shed
But it ain't over for us yet
Just get that outta your head
Well, I know we had our disconnections
Save us both from going different directions
Give me a minute, give me a chance to see
I won't let you leave
I know right now you're mad but you will see
Why is it so hard for you to believe?
Oh, believe me every little thing is gonna be okay
My dear, as long as you stay here
As long as you stay here
You don't need to cry
Try to remember better times
Like staying up so late at night
Cigarettes and drinking wine
Hey, that was the life
I know we had our disconnections
Save us both from going different directions
Give me a minute, give me a chance to see
I won't let you leave
I know right now you're mad but you will see
Why is it so hard for you to believe?
Oh, believe me every little thing is gonna be okay
My dear, as long as you stay here
As long as you stay here, as long as you stay
So say what you want to as long as you don't go
All that I've given is my love and I've only got more
I feel like we've been down this road before
Stay here, stay here
I won't let you leave
I know right now you're mad but you will see
Why is it so hard for you to believe?
Oh, believe me every little thing is gonna be okay
My dear, as long as you stay, as long as you stay here
As long as you stay, as long as you stay here
As long as you stay, as long as you stay here
As long as you stay, as long as you stay here
