Naji is an American singer/songwriter, drummer, producer, and mix engineer.
While initially starting his musical career solely as a drummer, "a dream about a potato" in early 2015 brought a swift change of direction, and subsequently, his first single, "Baked Potatoes" as the solo vocalist and producer. The single was surprisingly well received, and gave Naji enough momentum to develop a more matured and contemplative singing/writing style.
Then, at the beginning of 2016, Naji released a startlingly complex, yet demure and intimate single, "Fallen" with producer Glasstempo. This caught the attention of notable platforms & labels (Majestic Casual, Soulection, Lyrical Lemonade, Pigeons and Planes) and shot Naji to the forefront of Indie R&B.
Throughout 2016-2018, Naji released 50+ collaborative projects, including his most notable single "Mona Lisa" with Grammy-nominated producer monte booker, his debut album, "Misfit", and in collaboration with Splice, a live-drum sample pack, "Mr. Drummer Boy", which has been utilized and praised by top artists/producers like GIVĒON, Labrinth, JID, Kenny Beats, D-Mile, DEAN + more.
From 2019-2023, Naji went on hiatus, releasing only a handful of singles, with intent to rebrand and recalibrate his sound and vision.
Now, with his own projects and production contributions having tallied up more than 1 Billion streams, Naji is currently working on his follow up projects.
