The quarterly publication aims at bringing the smart, stylish and successful African woman to the forefront with its exceptional features. Schick Magazine delves into Aṣa’s life and work, discussing her five-year hiatus from the music, the cultural influences that have shaped both her and her craft, and the real change she wants to see in Nigeria.

On Being a Woman, Asa shared; “You are simply an angry feminist. No one looks at the fact that being a strong woman is the influence of good parenting and society”.
Talking about her art, she said; “Music is subjective, some will like what you do, and some won’t. One day, you’re in a 5-star hotel, the next, in a below 1-star hotel. Life is full of ups and downs, and that’s what makes it stimulating. I think the most important thing is never to lose sight of who you are and your purpose in life”.
On her Personality, the singer said; “I don’t take myself too seriously. People think I’m a little uptight, but I like meeting and learning about people. Once we get past the introduction, I end up becoming the class clown!”
Commenting on her love life as a celeb, she heartily shared; “It’s either guys think they aren’t in your league or you have 150 sailors waiting at every port to swoon at your feet! Either way, it can be quite lonely and difficult to find someone who doesn’t mind taking the back seat to see you grow and wilfully take you for all you are.”
