Azamiah + Nikhita

Edinburgh’s community radio station EHFM are teaming up with Mare Music for an Independent Venue Week special in Summerhall’s Old Lab. The show is a celebration of both local talent and our wonderful local music scene, featuring two of Scotland’s finest new acts, Nikhita and Azamiah.

Nikhita is an artist based in Edinburgh. Using music as a vessel for self-expression and honest storytelling, she glides through enchanting melodies over R&B, neo-soul soundscapes. Her debut single Aphrodite, and following single Golden Child – a nod to her South Asian heritage – received praise from the likes of BBC Asian Network and BBC Radio Scotland. Inspired by artists such as Joy Crookes, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Raveena, and Jhené Aiko, Nikhita creates her own sound and hopes you find solace in her art.

Azamiah is a genre-fluid Glasgow-based music collective led by vocalist India Blue. The band’s output is inspired by sounds of the natural world blended with Latin American rhythms, neo-soul and choral music. With their debut album In Phases out now, Azamiah continues to develop their sound through collaborative improvisation and build soundscapes with looping and effects pedals.
