Nysza
NYSZA //pronounced nice-uh//
is an Indian-origin world-fusion artist creating an eclectic musical mix of world rhythms, contemporary jazz, storytelling and folk traditions.
Her first single Petunia (2018) displays a South-Asian perspective on the cultural suppression of sexuality through her poetry in Urdu and English.

NYSZA’s collaboration with 3Föur on Forgotten Souls (2020) was released by Dutch DnB label Korsakov Music as part of Future Stars Vol.1 and premiered by Your EDM.
Currently working on her first EP (TBA 2020), NYSZA aims to fuse warring cultural identities and influences to tell the stories worth telling --- about issues that affect us universally.
Performing in multiple configurations: solo/duo for a singer-songwriter intimate vibe, the handpan trio for an ethereal world-folk session, or the full band for a groovy world-fusion set -- NYSZA has headlined and sold-out shows in London [Sofar Sounds, The Finborough Arms, Tamesis Dock], Switzerland [Kulturhaus Pallazo, EchoSoundSculpture], and India [The Habitat Mumbai, Unwind Center Chennai].
