uwase

Belgian indie pop

Uwase is a Belgian singer-songwriter who, as a producer, also determines how the songs ultimately sound. She started producing in her bedroom, where she made music to unwind. She hadn’t actually planned to release anything. But when her family heard the recordings, they joked that they’d put them online themselves if she didn’t.

In her indie pop, you can hear the guitar and the calm, direct vocals that also appeal to her in the work of artists such as Nilüfer Yanya, Phoebe Bridgers and Lorde. When it comes to production, she draws inspiration from Blood Orange and Caroline Polachek, who encourage her to experiment with sound and arrangements. In 2025, the Belgian artist won Studio Brussel’s ‘De Nieuwe Lichting’ competition. Her EP ‘Angelo’ subsequently earned her a MIA nomination. In September 2026, she released ‘9to5’, the first single from her debut album, which is due out in the spring of 2027.
