Singer and songwriter Asa, who hardly fail to dazzle her fans and followers have promised to continue with her singing career till the age of 80.

The soul songstress made the revelation via her Twitter handle, "I will sing till I'm 80," she said.

The remarks has sparked mixed reactions amongst her fans and followers. While some pledged to listen to her songs till their last breath, others expressed indifference.

Bukola Elemide otherwise known as Asa gave a poignant account of how she came to limelight in for pursuit of musical relevance during her 2017 Lagos Encore Concert.

“When I first got to France, I used to sing and play my guitar at bars. One day, someone walked up to me and told me about a band that had just won a Grammy saying I could audition,” she said.

“I got there but had to wait for up to 10 hours.

“I was hungry, mad and was asking myself what I was doing there and why don’t I just leave. They had finished and they were packing up when someone remembered that I was outside."

“I was finally invited to sing and I put all that emotion, sadness, pain and anger I felt in the song. On the day of their show, they gave me two minutes to perform, I got signed and my first album was released.

“If I had left that day, I don’t know what would have happened.”
