Love Divine
N.A.I.R.A. which stands for N.igerian A.merican I.’m R.epresentin A.frica. Recording artist,performer, and vocalist NAIRA weaves a well fitting pattern of love, pain, strength, and energy into one powerful punch with her individualistic style of music. Naira pens the term for the music that she creates as “Urban-Soul”; pulling from influences of soul, funk, blues, afro-pop, reggae, and r&b along with the youthful, free, and edgy energy of hip-hop. Her creation is a blend that has never quite been touched before. She is the pulse of everything urban; everything current. Just as noted for her lyrical abilities in the rap world as her sweet vocals in the singing arena… Naira has become a seasoned veteran although she is relatively new and developing in the industry. In the exploration of her creativity, she landed her first lead role in the feature film “Pathways”, directing music videos and short films.
Being a 6 time Nigerian Entertainment Award nominee has far from stopped NAIRA from reaching for higher heights. As a songwriter and international performer, collaborative efforts and shared stages with the likes of 2Face Idibia, Jovan Dais, Gripplyaz, Raskimono, Richelle L. Brown, Mama’s Mustache, Riz, Stacy Epps, Banky W, Naeto C, Mojo Swagger, Rasheedah, Cy Marshall Law, Rasun and countless others are part of her repertoire.
Her gifts have garnered her airplay on some of the world’s biggest radio stations both mainstream and underground airwaves as well as being seen on MTV, MTV BASEAFRICA, AIT, Nigezie (Nigeria/London) and other television networks. Having sold several thousand copies of her previous projects, the heartfelt tribute album dedicated to the artist’s late mother “On My Angel’s Wings” rejuvenated her passion for life & music. Now the world patiently awaits more from NAIRA as she makes her grand re-entry with the album “FEARLESS: The Art of Letting Go” featuring
singles “OverDrive” and “Fly Hustle, Fresh Grind”.
This is a must listen or in this case, watch. Especially if you’re into soulful sounds.
Rising artists Bez.
A fresh breeze is blowwing through Nigerian soul music on the guitar strings of a young performer called Bez. Bez makes alternative soul, an understated and unusual hybrid of soul, jazz and R&B music that sets him well apart from the main stream Afro-hip-hop movement. His songs of love and heartbreak are modern acoustic gems that fit right beside the music of singers like John Mayer, Amy Winehouse and John Legend. A natural performer with a charismatic and playful stage presence, Bez has already opened for international sensation, Asa, performed alongside Nigeria’s premiere entertainers on the Rhythm Unplugged Concert series and been showcased as part of the exclusive Hennessy Artistry series. From big band shows with his swinging five man band to intimate acoustic showcases led by his masterful guitar playing, Bez is a performer to behold. See Bez, Hear Bez, Feel Bez. A new soul man is here.
