Excited to have Rising Star 🌟 Nadia Sheikh on Produced By a Girl Podcast! Reminiscent of Avril Lavigne and Slater Kinney, she’s and incredibly talented and dedicated artist. Picture an amalgamation of delicate vocals and ominous indie rock. Vocal lines that shift from airy to powerful in the split of a second. Nadia Sheikh is a genre chameleon that mixes strong indie rock tracks with timeless pop tunes and heartfelt acoustic songs. Quirky melodies and catchy choruses that stick with you. With an impressive cultural background, the half British, half Spanish artist has the power to captivate you with her haunting voice.
Championed by BBC Introducing, BBCR2, Radio X, Planet Rock, RNE and Radio 3 (Spain) Nadia is set to make her mark on the music scene.
Nadia and her band were tipped as one of This Feeling’s ‘Big in 2018’, and they have performed all around the UK and Spain, including the Isle of Wight Festival, FIB (Benicassim festival) and Y Not festival, as well as supporting bands like Sophie and the Giants, Valeras and Efecto Pasillo (Spain).
Her latest single ‘Toxic’ caught the attention of tastemakers being chosen as John Kennedy Recommends TOTW and being added to the Evening Playlist on Radio X and Planet Rock as well as being played on The Rock Show by Johnnie Walker on BBCR2 and Janice Lonce on BBC Radio Wales in the UK and Radio 3 (equivalent to BBC6) in Spain.
Her next single ‘Break Free’ is out on 15th November and you can find her and the band on tour with it. Nadia has also been working on new material with Jamie Morrison (soul of Pop Morrison and drummer in Stereophonics) that will see the light next year.
