Atlanta native and IMA "Vox Pop" winner, 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. She created small productions wither her sisters for family and friends. Her mother was a poet who passed on her love of words, which later fueled Nadia's talent as a lyricist. Nadia's life took an unexpected turn at the age of 17 when she lost her mother to suicide.
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."
She has written well over 100 songs born from the things she has experienced. Her songwriting is not only personally healing but is also a platform to help others heal and make waves with social matters. Her success is a result of a work effort inspired by the successes of other great women she admires. Having written in several genres, her fascination lies with pop because as she put it, "You can tell a story with an important message through pop music and create positive shifts in the world around us as well as just a person's mood."
