Hilary had early ambitions to go into the science field at London’s Westminster University, where she studied biological sciences. She shares, “While I was in school studying sciences, I started to explore my musical interests and I decided that I wanted to pursue music more seriously. ” She took a year off from school and at that time, recorded her first demo a cover of the Aretha Franklin classic ‘Until you come back to me’ (featured debut album Soul Organic). She says she’s never had formal musical training but was brought up on a diet of soul, R&B, Gospel and pop music from an early age. Luckily for us Hilary Mwelwa’s path has led her to follow her heart and her music. Source HilstSoul.com
