Artist Talk | Nabihah Iqbal
2023 was a landmark year for Nabihah, having released her sophomore album 'DREAMER' on Ninja Tune to critical acclaim, while touring her live band and DJ performances across the world. The album is an intimate journey through snapshots and memories of Nabihah’s life, exploring personal identity and grief. With two years in the making, and since her critically acclaimed previous album Weighing of the Heart, her profile has been building with DJing, curating, teaching, composing and engaging with the art world.
The album’s success has seen Nabihah tour extensively over the past 12 months, building her reputation as one of the most compelling live artists around. Highlights include sold-out headline shows across the UK and Europe, including Earth London, ICA London, Le Point Éphémère Paris, Melkweg Amsterdam, Wintercircus Gent, as well as further afield, with a sold-out Public Records NYC, and full-houses at all six dates of her Australia & New Zealand tour. Nabihah also delivered spellbinding performances at some of the most revered festivals in Europe, including Pukkelpop, Way Out West, Lowlands, Into The Great Wide Open and Pitchfork Berlin.
