Nadu

Based in Los Angeles, Bangladeshi-American musician Nader (Nadu) is known for his brand of hard-hitting vocals in live performances, singing his &#34;punk-as-hell take on surf-rock&#34; (Sophia Stevens, THE STRANGER), beginning with two self-released EPs in 2017 and 2020. Nader made the move to the US as a teenager, surviving on service jobs through school, ending up strapped to an office cubicle. Songwriting drew him to leave that culture and make music full time, a luxury his childhood did not afford.
