Naïka

Naïka is a singer/songwriter born in Miami, Florida, with a rich multicultural background. Her parents hail from Madagascar and Haiti, and she spent her childhood traveling and living in various countries such as Guadeloupe, Kenya, France, South Africa, and Vanuatu. This diverse upbringing has significantly influenced her music, which she describes as "World-Pop," blending elements of pop with global sounds and rhythms. Naïka graduated from Boston's Berklee College of Music with a degree in Professional Music and has gained recognition for her songwriting skills, including winning a scholarship in the BMI's John Lennon Songwriting Scholarship competition.

Naïka's music career has been marked by several notable achievements. She initially gained attention with her single "Ride," which reached #2 on the Spotify Viral Global chart and amassed over 5 million streams. She later signed with Capitol Records DE but now releases music independently. Her viral cover of "Don't Rush" by Young T & Bugsey further boosted her popularity. Naïka speaks and sings in multiple languages, including English, French, and Haitian Creole, using her music to promote unity and diversity. She has released several EPs and singles, including recent tracks like "6:45" and "1+1," and is currently working on her debut album.
