IMA "Vox Pop" winner, Nadia Vaeh releases a new heartfelt single 'RISE' featuring Hazel Rose. Nadia found her way into artistry through modeling and securing a local Atlanta circus. She started singing in their productions, but this was not the beginning of her artistic roots.
The Atlanta native love of music and singing started at a tender age of two and was encouraged by her parents by placing her into a traveling youth choir. One would say Nadia's inherited natural talent of composition to music from her mother, who was a poet. The tragic loss of her mother to suicide at the age of seventeen of course, had a tremendous effect on her, and during that period, she turned her back on singing and songwriting.
During those unfortunate hard moments, the only way to cope was through self-sabotage, self-destruction, unmeaningful attachments, and partying. When she finally pulled herself out from the dark place to start over with her artistry, she was strong of a person who looked to no one or anything for answers to deal with her heartbreak. "I made a lot of missteps when I first began my career and had to learn a lot of things the hard way."
Her infinite resilience and life experience have turned her into a flourished performer with international success. She is still looking forward to sharing more of her music in the US and around the world.
Vaeh music is heavily influenced by many sounds from all over the world and many genres, including her roots from her father's Lebanon's homeland, her affection for Middle Eastern music. Have a listen below.
"I wrote RiSE with a couple of creatives I met on a trip to visit a friend in Sacramento, CA back in November 2017. This song is a reminder to slow down and be in the present moment, which is something I definitely struggle with. Our society doesn't necessarily promote us to be still. We don't call ourselves the human race for nothin!"
There is so much beauty in slowing down as many of us have been humbly reminded with the recent times. Something in the way this world was designed can, unfortunately, leave many feeling guilty for relaxing and doing nothing, when really a couple of steps back can often lead to a giant leap forward. I've heard friends or even myself apologize to people for taking a day or week off from the hustle. I hope this song is a nice reminder, its okay to coast and fly away from the flock for a bit and just do you boo!
When we come together as a collective consciousness into the present moment we are able to see things clearly for what they are and then make the shifts necessary to create change. My hope for this song is to inspire reconnection to the real world around us,'' explains Nadia Vaeh
