Backed by PRS Foundation’s Women Make Music Award, Brazil-born and UK-based artist Nadedja unveils this powerful new chapter in her artistry, her debut album 'Daughter Of The Equator Sky'. Recorded and co-produced with Bob Mackenzie (<a href="spotify:artist:53KwLdlmrlCelAZMaLVZqU" data-name="James Blake">James Blake</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3mIj9lX2MWuHmhNCA7LSCW" data-name="The 1975">The 1975</a>), it’s a journey of self-acceptance that navigates Nadedja’s experience of moving to the UK for love, the joys and heartbreaks of building a life in a completely new country, all while trying to maintain a connection to her ancestry.
Inspired by artists like <a href="spotify:artist:4NZvixzsSefsNiIqXn0NDe" data-name="Maggie Rogers">Maggie Rogers</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7ltDVBr6mKbRvohxheJ9h1" data-name="ROSALÍA">ROSALÍA</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1moxjboGR7GNWYIMWsRjgG" data-name="Florence + The Machine">Florence + The Machine</a> & <a href="spotify:artist:2O6q06oNcmOIPg1qidSU3C" data-name="Liniker">Liniker</a>, Nadedja’s unique style combines Western and Brazilian influences. The fingerprints of música popular brasileira (MPB) as well as UK and American alternative pop are recognisable in her melodies, emboldening her style.
She has been championed by BBC Look North as part of the 2025 MOBO Awards x BBC Introducing showcase at The Glasshouse International Centre for Music, and has also been widely supported by The Ivors Academy, BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music and BBC Introducing at both a regional and national level. Her latest singles landed her two sync placements on ITV2’s Love Island, as well as live performances at UK festivals such as Latitude, SXSW London, Dot 2 Dot, Kendal Calling, Lindisfarne and The Alternative Escape.

“To be honest, I could just listen to that on loop. Just a really nice listen with some super-vulnerable lyrics. Honestly, I cannot wait for more from her!” Jess Iszatt, BBC Radio 1
