Nana Rashid is a Danish jazz artist with roots in Oman and Zanzibar. The essence of everything Nana does is a belief that music can reveal all that is human. The listener is met with honesty and openness, bringing forth the invisible but palpable bonds that connect people. It is simultaneously intense and soothing.
With a fresh take on classic jazz techniques, Nana delves into contemporary dilemmas. Her songs are filled with the melancholy and contemplation of the nighttime hours. Themes of belonging and finding one's own identity, navigating the challenges of love, being a woman, and all the expectations that come with it are explored. Critics have described Nana as proof that there are still significant and undiscovered talents in jazz. She is a singer with an amazing voice and an approach to music that is both naked, vulnerable, and strong. Her depth of emotion and immediate musicality has been compared to greats like Nina Simone. Nana Rashid's debut album, 'Music For Betty,' was released in 2023.
