Azawi was given the chance to work with Eddy Kenzo in 2016. She belonged to a band, and that band was selected to play in a concert held by Kenzo that year.
She claimed in an interview with Ruth Kalibbala that during practice, Kenzo asked them to join him on a song he was recording in the studio.
Kenzo noticed some lines Azawi added to the song and requested if she may write after hearing them.
He gave Azawi Sh500k for a song she wrote for him called Fish in My Heart.
Also introduced to hen by Kenzo Kenzo told Producer Kuseim, who was then working for Big Talent Entertainment, about her after noticing that she is a talented writer.
Azawi, who was in her final year of college, took a hiatus to finish her coursework after the two began writing songs together.
Kuseim quit Big Talent the same year to launch his own studio.
The first popular songs by Azawi, such as Quinamino, were produced by Kuseim.
Furthermore, it's significant to remember that Azawi provided support for Kenzo at his 2020 event to celebrate ten years in the music business, for which she was compensated with Sh1 million.
She moved out from her mother's home and began paying her own rent with the help of that money.
In 2015, Azawi became a member of a group that would eventually collaborate with Eddy Kenzo, for whom she would compose music.
Kuseim, his producer at Big Talent Entertainment, was introduced to her by Kenzo.
They began writing songs with Kuseim up until the point when he left Big Talent to open his studio.
Quinamino's beat was created by Kuseim.
At first, they intended to sell it, and Azawi proposed Swangz Avenue because she wanted Winnie Nwagi to sing it.
Benon Mugumbya and Julius Kyazee, who she met at Swangz, gave her the option of contracting with them and pushed her to sing rather than merely write.
