Nadia Ali | Dance Music's Unlikely Superstar Reveals it All | Episode 9

(Episode Released March 25, 2024) Every week, people comment on how much they love the theme song for this show. If you’ve been listening and wondering who sings the hauntingly beautiful lyrics… it’s dance music juggernaut and the Grammy-nominated artist, Nadia Ali.
Nadia Ali grew up sheltered, sneaking out of her house to hit the nightclubs of New York City in her teens… but not to imbibe, like most kids her age. No, she was there for a different intoxicant: THE MUSIC.
Enamored by rhythm and sound, she vowed that one day it would be her voice emanating from the speakers. What she couldn’t have imagined was that when she finally achieved that dream, it would be SO MUCH BIGGER than she ever could have imagined.
Nadia’s career took her to some incredible places, and she shares her journey and insights today on the show, including her advice for stepping into your greatness and having confidence even when it seems impossible.
And, most excitingly (for us here at the pod, at least!), she’ll fill us in on the story behind the theme song that has taken us all by storm: the beautiful tune called MAZE which opens and closes this very podcast each and every week.

I have a thing with sounds. Brown noise, relax waves, things like that are magical to calm me down. And I need for anxiety and depression.
For a long time I was not able to feel good. I just kept going know? Like working and paying bills. So there was this day I was in the mood for something with beats just to wake up and I put a 90's/00s dance music playlist. I don't actually listen to the songs. It is just something to feel a little more awake, until this voice... OMG the voice! I just couldn't ignore it. I stopped everything I was doing and saw her name.
No joking, I heard rapture over and over on repeat for like 10 days. My ears got this obsession with the sound of her voice. I can't explain it. I don't even like dance music or anything similar to that. But I couldn't help it. I was IN LOVE. I had this experience 25 years ago with Madonna hearing Frozen. Now it happened again.
This episode was suggested to me since my TH-cam is all about her 😂
And since you are friends with her can I ask please, let her know: I am smiling again ❤

Jamie your so right, her voice is just so chanting, soothing and just relaxing. Would love to hear her perform live right here in South Africa.
