2020 was a strong year for NAYANA IZ; the release of her EP SMOKE & FLY showcased her unique blend of acerbic bars and Eastern influence and led to a must-see COLORS performance. One year later, and the 20-year-old artist returns with new single “Breaking Point”, an opportunity for her to show a different flavour to her talent.
Raised in North London by Indian parents after migrating to Britain as a child, the experience and the family’s subsequent establishing themselves in a new country left a lasting effect on NAYANA IZ as both a person and a songwriter. Keen to marry her cultural heritage with the musical inspiration from MF Doom, A Tribe Called Quest and Tupac, her output is a homage to her personal identity.
