Anwar Siziba is an RnB, Soul, Hip hop and Afrobeat singer-songwriter originally from Essex now based in Bristol after spending a few years in Cardiff during and after university. He found his love for singing when he was just 10 years old, in a gospel choir at the church he attended with his mum. From here his passion for performing and expression through music has continued to grow into his adult life. Since then Anwar has constantly grown as an artist learning to record, mix and master his own songs and has released a catalogue of music that shows off his versatility as an artist, most recently his 5 track EP 'Afro Love' which visits his influence from his African roots. Anwar's inviting stage presence, smooth vocals and harmonies bring a cool atmosphere to music fans wherever they choose to listen. He has been featured as a BBC Horizons artist for 2022 and has also featured on multiple tracks on the Welsh A-list.
Over recent years he has performed at many events in local clubs, a performance at the 02 arena London and also had his own small scale headline show at the Tramshed in Cardiff. His music has been played on various radio stations including BBC Radio Wales.
During the COVID-19 pandemic he wrote and performed the first verse, second verse and the bridge of a song called 'We won't forget' which was composed for those who have lost their lives during the pandemic, particularly dedicated to Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic people who died disproportionately.
