An artist who revels in complexity and sublime contradiction, Nadia Kazmi is a rarity amongst the ever-growing field of singers, songwriters and recording artists. With a sound that is as compelling as it is innovative, she’s become one of the most promising and unique new talents to grace our pages, invoking a wide spectrum of styles to cultivate her ensnaring sound.
A native to Calgary, Alberta, Nadia splits her time between the western city at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and the mountainous skyscrapers of New York City, soaking in both atmospheres to help colour her cotemporary style. Since being in the Big Apple she has well and truly come into her own as an artist, building a repertoire of original material that continues to impress fans and critics from around the world.
With inspirations and influences that reach band to the decade of her parent’s youth, Nadia’s sound has a rare timeless quality, one that is free to move and evolve as she sees fit. Armed with lyrical depth and universal themes, Nadia’s music has evolved to become a complete aural experience, leaning heavily on sweet, sultry sounds and her own unique brand of blues-infused alternative rock.
With tracks like ‘Mother’ and ‘Paper Thin Hotel’, Nadia has well and truly proved her talents, stepping bolding into the spotlight with a lyrical literacy and impressive control of melody that belies her young age. Textured, emotive, and wonderfully dynamic, her music is a wonderfully honest look into the heart and soul of an amazing talent.
With a new 7” single set to be released on March 3rd this year, Nadia is currently championing a very special release show, where she’ll share the stage with Shybaby, Nihiloceros, and Clone. Taking place at the famous Sultan Room in Brooklyn, New York, it’s a show you can’t afford to miss.
Tickets are available now via Dice.
