Nenah
Nenah is a London-based, Ecuador-born and Stockholm raised singer-songwriter and producer. She creates alternative pop that draws and is melodically influenced by R&B. Nenah’s latinx identity is a vital part of her visuals and music, noting ‘it began as a form of self-therapy and self-acceptance’. This comes through in her music with spanish lyrics that are incorporated ’as a sort of honoring ritual to my roots’. The name Nenah itself is spanish slang vaguely translated to ’girl’ actually spelt nena, and is also her mothers nickname.
