From Zawi to Azawi: Sarah Zawedde Tells the Story Behind the Name Change
Singer Priscilla Zawedde, widely known as Azawi, was initially set to launch her career under the name “Zawi.”
However, this changed after discussions between her management, Swangz Avenue, and singer Sarah Zawedde’s team.
Zawedde explained that the change was necessary to avoid confusion among fans, as she already had a registered band called Zawee Band and also used the alias “Sarah Zawedde Zawee.”
This resulted in an agreement between the two camps on a slight modification, ultimately settling on “Azawi.”
Zawedde described the process as smooth, saying the decision allowed both her and Azawi to maintain their unique identities.
Today, Azawi has established herself in Uganda’s music industry, free from any name clash with Sarah Zawedde.
