A Story of Faith and Determination
Reflecting on her journey, Naava spoke passionately about how music became her calling. “I wanted to be a banker, but I felt a void like something was missing. I prayed to God, and He showed me the path to music,” she shared.
Her journey began with her participation in the Tusker Project Fame competition in 2008, which she described as a turning point. “Before Tusker Project Fame, I had a vision of myself on stage back in 2006. In the competition, I was disqualified but it changed my perspective and from there, everything began to take shape,” she said.
With the guidance of industry greats like Steve Jean and collaborations with artists such as legendary lug flow rapper GNL Zamba Naava’s talent blossomed. Hits like Ntereddde and Alibawani became household favourites, paving the way for her unique sound and lyrical style.

With Fenon Events creating a stage that breathes life into her music, a stellar line-up of supporting acts, and Naava’s heartfelt performances, the concert promises to be the ultimate Valentine’s Day celebration.
