We asked Nadia to share a bit about herself.
Nadia, what is your “go-to” song to put you in a good mood?
A: Don’t Stop Me Now by Queen.
Who are five artists you would like to collaborate with?
A: Tough one because there are so many artists I admire. A few thoughts…Eminem, Cher, Russ, Bruno Mars, and Bad Bunny.
Would you say music has always been your main mode of expression?
A: Yes, definitely; as a child, I played piano and violin. I, unfortunately, didn’t stick with these instruments, so I encourage all of the kids I come across to stick with their instruments. I was also in the choir. Anyone who really knows me hears me constantly singing or humming around the house. I even sing to my pets; good thing they seem to like it and don’t start howling to get me to stop [laughs].
How has your past, your family, or your upbringing affected the music you’re making today?
A: My grandfather was a musician who played saxophone and trumpet, and I would go down to his studio and play the drums and piano, and he gave me my first violin, which I used when I was in the orchestra.
Wonderful! What instruments would you like to master?
A: The electric guitar. That is my favorite instrument.
What can we expect from you in 2023?
A: The release of my first EP and getting out and playing my music live.
