Ep.7 - Nabiha Iqbal
from The Sleepwalker · host CHOQ Radio Elena MEYER
Once known as Throwing Shade, Nabihah Iqbal has forged a reputation as an electronic musician, DJ and in-demand collaborator, working with visual artists such as Wolfgang Tillmans and curating this year’s multidisciplinary Brighton festival. Deprived of her studio equipment after a burglary, followed by a family emergency in Pakistan in early 2020, Iqbal grew the sounds of 'Dreamer' more organically, working initially on harmonium and acoustic guitar. As her North America tour comes to an end, I spoke with Nabihah about her approach to playing, making, and recording music and the mesmerizing sounds of her motherland, Pakistan. Xx, Elena
