Nabihah Iqbal, a British musician, broadcaster, and DJ, has emerged as a compelling voice in the realm of electronic music with a flair for ethereal and thought-provoking soundscapes. With her roots stemming from South Asian heritage, she defies genre constraints, creating music that blends elements of synth-pop, post-punk, and new wave, while also drawing upon her training in ethnomusicology. Her journey in music gained significant traction with the transition from her former moniker, Throwing Shade, to releasing work under her own name, emphasizing her commitment to authenticity and self-identification.

Nabihah's 2017 debut album, "Weighing of the Heart," under the Ninja Tune label, is a testament to her complex sonic palette, exploring the interplay between rhythm and emotion. Her body of work, including recent singles like "Eternal Passion / Zone 1 to 6000" and "Sunflower," showcases her growth as an artist unafraid to confront the depths of the human experience. Beyond her own musical creations, Nabihah Iqbal extends her love for music through her work as a broadcaster, hosting a bi-weekly radio show on NTS Radio, which further solidifies her position in the contemporary music landscape as both a creator and curator. Her scholarly background and diverse musical influences render her output both intellectually and sonically rich, asserting her as an artist with a unique narrative in the modern music scene.
