Not only does Nia excel as a producer, but she also showcases her powerful vocals as a singer. Her soulful voice effortlessly conveys raw emotions and connects with listeners on a deep level. Combined with her poignant lyrics and catchy melodies, Nia's songs have the power to leave a lasting impact. Brought through last year by the awesome EQ50 mentorship helping womxn to progress in jungle and drum and bass, Nia has since been developing into an artist with a real understanding behind her music. With a heritage founded on Caribbean sound system culture, combined with her teenage years spent writing albums worth of music for fun, it feels like music has always been the destined path for Nia – a dream she is finally living.

I’ve not done any gigs as Nia Archives… Not gonna lie, I’m bare nervous. But in some ways it’s good as there are no expectations. No one knows what it will be like. I only started teaching myself how to DJ last year. I’m literally learning as I go.

It’s all very DIY! I’ve been independent since a young age and have had to do things myself. With my music, there’s no big label or anything. I’m just doing what I know. It’s not perfect, but I enjoy it. It’s all about having fun right now. Oh Me Oh My by Lonnie Holley Springing from Lonnie Holley’s enduring ability to render his lived experience into song forms and narratives that look to open-heartedness, beauty and trauma within the same assemblage, Oh Me Oh My comes as another vital chapter of his recorded works. With the likes of Michael Stipe, Jeff Parker, Moor Mother, Sharon Van Etten and Rokia Koné accompanying the LP, a wealth of approaches add to Holley’s genre ferment, which places a present tense, non-simulacra form of blues at the forefront. Moving between refrains and narrative threads, and as content to hit on grooves as it is to pull at the heartstrings or move towards the outer limits (“Future Children”), this one’s another worthy listen from an inimitable artist.–JH

NiaArchives:Yeah! I think I kind of manifested that. My friend Delphino, who I’ve made a few videos with, he’s Brazilian, and I said to him last year, “We’re going to go to Brazil together one day.” I didn’t know it’d be this soon, but I was so drawn to it — it seemed inevitable. We went into a favela community to film, and meeting the locals, playing football with the kids who dance in the video, that was such an experience. People seemed to appreciate that I’d paid homage to their culture with ‘Baianá’, even though I’d made it into something so different.
