It would be easy to start from the beginning, when Fola Dada came to jazz via tap dancing. But the important things in Fola Dada's life are happening now. She is a successful singer and winner of the German Jazz Award 2022 in the "Vocal National" category. She teaches at several universities, including as a professor of jazz singing in Mannheim, and is a regular guest with the renowned radio big bands of WDR&SWR. She loves jazz just as much as the Afrobeat of Nigeria, her father's homeland, or the old blues and soul records of her German mother, and that is what makes her so special: Versatility and authenticity. She loves her home city of Stuttgart and is now a respected musician far beyond the borders of the Kessel. Whether soul, house, pop, reggae, German or English, she has the gift of being at home in almost any style. Experiencing her on stage is wonderful, her art is to sing her way into people's hearts.
