Information

Sowelu's name is a transliteration of the Rune for the word "Sun". Sowelu tends to make music with a distinct R&B sound.

She went on to host several radio shows, only increasing her popularity. In 2002 she and the R&B band CHEMISTRY teamed up to represent Japan and Korea at the 2002 FIFA World Cup, where she preformed in the opening ceremony.
