Tonight’s guest is an Atlanta born, award winning pop star, that is based now in Los Angles.   Her love of music began as a toddler, and was nourished throughout her childhood when she joined a traveling chorus.  Though she stepped away from that love after the tragic loss of her mother when she was just 17, she started releasing music in 2019 and has been crushing it ever since.  This “Conscious Pop Artist” not only addresses a range of emotions, thoughts, fears, and hopes in her music, but she uses her platform to give back to many non-profits that deal with those struggling in the same ways.  Groups like “Girl UP,” “Peace Over Violence,” “Red Cross Lebanon,” and “Be An Elf” are just some of the organizations that she has contributed too.  As far as accolades go, she has been featured in more music publications, podcasts, and radio shows than I can count.  In 2020 was the Vox Pop Winner (Voice of the People) at the Independent Music Awards in the Holiday Category for her song called “Holidazed & Confused.”  Lastly, her music video for “Anxiety” has been nominated as an Official Selection at the 2021 Berlin Lift-off International Film Festival.

A great conversation with Nadia about her music, and the healing it has provided for her (and others) in difficult times.  She also gave us a few surprise details about her upcoming album.
