Her sharpest memory: going to Shanghai at 12 years old to hear that city’s Philharmonic perform a song she composed.
“These were people who had never heard of me, had never heard of my music, who had never even seen me,” she remembers. But the house was packed nonetheless— and Hawa opted to sit in the crowd instead of remaining onstage for the show. “I’m looking and I’m actually seeing people enjoying it,” she says. “When I was that young and people would tell me, ‘Oh this is great, this is good.
