Nadine Shah is a singer-songwriter from South Shields, born to a British mother of Norwegian ancestry and a Pakistani father. She is one of the most vital and exciting musical voices to emerge in the twenty-first century.
A Radio 6 stalwart, she was nominated for the Mercury Prize in 2018 for her fourth album, Holiday Destination, and released her fifth album, Kitchen Sink, in 2020 to wide critical acclaim and commercial success.
Engaging, warm, outrageous and funny, Nadine is recognised for the uncompromising lyrical nature of her work, her position as a Muslim woman making angular post-punk records, her candid mental-health advocacy and her vocal stance on the economics of music streaming.
