I had never heard of Nadia Vaeh before this week which surprised me as her sound is skillful and polished (because I hear about everyone, right 😉 … The new track “Boomerang” is a refined pop track, well arranged with a sweet and catchy hook. It made we want to explore more of her music which I think is as much as any artist can hope for from a new track. That also led me to the equally great cover and original video of Nirvana’s “Heart Shaped Box” you can see below.
RSVP and DETAILS for ‘The Boomerang Home Show’ this Sunday at Red Light Cafe in Atlanta.
Nadia Vaeh’s official Bio from her website: “A native of Atlanta with an American mother and a Lebanese father, Nadia Vaeh found her way into artistry through modeling and joining a local Atlanta circus. She started singing in their productions, but this was not the beginning of her artistic roots. Nadia’s love of music and singing began at the age of two and was nurtured by her parents by placing her into a traveling youth-choir. Her mother was a poet and passed on her love of words, which later lent to fuel her as a lyricist. Nadia lost her mom to suicide at the age of 17, which shifted the course of the young artist.
She dismantled her high-school band and strayed from songwriting and singing for years, other than the occasional karaoke. After this tragic loss, she states that she went down a path of self-sabotage and destruction and used relationships and partying to ignore her pain. When she finally decided to begin again with artistry, she was a shell of a person and looking to anyone and anything for answers to deal with her heartbreak. “I made a lot of missteps when I first began my career and had to learn a lot of things the hard way.”
With her endless resilience, she has grown into a performer, has had her music recently played on international radio, and is looking forward to sharing more of her music here in the US and around the world. She has written well over 100 songs born from the things she’s experienced – to her songwriting is not only personally healing, but is also a platform to help others heal and make waves with social matters. Having written in several genres, her fascination lies with pop because; as she put it, “You can tell a story and create even more movement with that story through catchy lyrics and melodies”. “
