Nxdia

Vulnerable alt-pop with Middle Eastern flourishes and a British twist

“Having overcome years of bullying, the Cairo-born, Manchester-based artist now wants to “form a community” with their punky, peppy tunes.”NME
Playful, riotous and unapologetic, with lashings of oversharing, Egyptian-Sudanese singer-songwriter Nxdia’s powerful nature runs through every vein of their alt-pop signature. Born inCairo and Manchester raised, Nxdia came into songwritingearly in life by pouring their feelingsinto poetry and music to process the world around them, while yearning for a community to fitinto.

From queer awakening anthem‘She Likes A Boy’and intoxicating queer love anthem‘More!”toexploring the emotional whiplash of feeling everything and nothing in‘Feel Anything’and punk-pop banger‘Boy Clothes’in which they explore their experience of gender dysphoria and thefreedom of gender expression,-Nxdia is unravelling their own vulnerabilities to connect withothers. Nxdia released their critically-acclaimed debut mixtape“I Promise No One’s Watching”in June.
