🎤 From Manchester’s art scene to 100 million streams… without ever signing to a major label. In this inspiring episode, Nxdia opens up to Rob Cass about carving their own lane in the music industry — one fearless, bilingual track at a time. Whether it’s screaming on stage, singing in Arabic, or going viral with a deeply personal song like “She Likes a Boy,” Nxdia proves that you don’t need a label to be a force in music. 💥

🌍 Born in Cairo and raised in Manchester, Nxdia shares how their multicultural upbringing shaped their unique sound — a vibrant blend of alt-pop, rock energy, and Arabic lyricism. We talk about growing up in the Manchester art community, how Pink became an inspiration for them, and why the internet can be… brutal. 🖤 They also explain why they’ve stayed independent, what they've learned along the way, and how songs written in their bedroom found their way into millions of hearts (and playlists).

🔥 From their electric live shows to the thrill of turning pain into power through music, Nxdia holds nothing back. If you’ve ever doubted the power of staying true to your identity — this one’s for you. Don't miss it. 👁️‍🗨️
