Ep 2.4 – NYALLAH
from When We See Each Other Hosted by Stereoactive Media
Nikkiesha McLeod welcomes the talented R&B singer-songwriter NYALLAH, diving into their journey of creativity, resilience, and the intricacies of identity in the wake of personal and communal challenges. As they connect, NYALLAH shares their thoughts on navigating growth amidst struggles, notably reflecting on the recent devastating fires in Los Angeles and their impact on the communities they hold dear. They also discuss NYALLAH's musical evolution, highlighting new tracks and creative endeavors born from a place of vulnerability after a life-altering bike accident in 2022, as well as inspiring insights into their artistic process and the transition from producing music solely for performance to exploring their multifaceted identity as an artist. The conversation delves into the importance of storytelling and representation, particularly for queer and trans artists, urging a reimagining of the space that marginalized voices occupy in the music scene. Furthermore, it touches on the climate of fear and uncertainty pervasive in today's socio-political landscape, particularly regarding recent policies affecting queer communities. - Produced and hosted by Nikkiesha McLeod - Produced and edited by Jeremiah Lee McVay - Released and distributed by Stereoactive Media === Support the artist: https://www.nyallah.com/ https://nyallah.bandcamp.com/ https://www.instagram.com/n.yallah https://www.youtube.com/@nyallah888
