Nia Keyo

With a soulful, Afrobeats-influenced sound shaped by her Brazilian/Angolan heritage, this Dundalk-based artist established herself as a bold new force on the Irish scene with the release of ‘Yeah’ and ‘Your Way’ last year. Having worked closely with Chris Kabs and JyellowL – and having opened for the likes of Negro Impacto and Toshín – Nia is currently working towards her eagerly anticipated debut EP.
