You're London-based – yet you recorded the majority of your latest single, 'Fire Away' & your last EP, 'Everybody Hears But No One's Listening' at Rockaway Studios in Castellon, Spain – we understand you're half-British/half-Spanish, have you spent your life living between the two countries? So, it’s all a big melting pot of melodies, feelings, and guitars. The boys (my band) bring a lot to the sound too. I even did some jazz singing when I was in my early teens, so I’d say it’s quite a versatile sound! One moment I can play something grungier and darker, then jump on the piano and do a poppy ballad and then do something like ‘Fire Away’ which is happier and more anthemic, but it all sits well together.

The dreaded question! I’m a singer/songwriter at heart, that’s how I started, just me and the guitar, and I’ve always loved bands like the Beatles and poppy melodies, as well as having a love for guitar music. You've been described as a 'genre chameleon', for your ability to mix genre conventions from Grunge, Indie Rock & Pop to create something unique within your own sound.

We caught up with Nadia, ahead of the release of her latest single, ‘Fire Away’, a self-proclaimed ‘love letter to the power of live music’. Armed with a string of killer-releases and a fearsome reputation for putting on a great live show, the future is bright for the London based singer/songwriter. From gracing the treasured stages of the Isle of Wight Festival, Festival Internacional de Benicàssim, and Y Not Festival, to supporting Stereophonics on their most recent European tour Nadia Sheikh is rapidly gaining traction.
