Fortnite is excited to confirm the final artist in the line-up for the Series: record-breaking French-Malian singer, Aya Nakamura.
Rising to fame with the hit song Djadja and becoming the most listened-to Francophone singer in the world for the last 4 years, Aya Nakamura’s albums have amassed over 6 Billion streams and views internationally across her 2018 album NAKAMURA – the first ever French-language album to reach 1 Billion streams on Spotify – and her award-winning 2020 album AYA became the third most listened-to album in the world on release. She is the most followed French female artist in the world with over 20 Million fans combined on social media.
