Nadia Ali
In her teens, Nadia listened to a huge variety of music - anything from Reggae, Hip Hop,
Latin house and from Motown to alternative rock. However, Nadia considers classic rock and Indian
music to be her biggest genre influences. Artistically, the three performers having the most
influence on her are Stevie Nicks, "because of her haunting vocals and songwriting;" Sade, "because
she has such a distinctive sound;" and Madonna, "For being such an intense performer." She has also
been heavily influenced by artists ranging from U2, Led Zeppelin, Jim Morrison, Carole King, Depeche
Mode and eastern icon, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, among others.
