NAAZ (LIVE)

Naaz is a Dutch-Kurdish singer, producer and writer from the Netherlands. Growing up in a refugee household, she found an outlet in writing songs from an early age, many now tattooed on her body as symbols of freedom. Self-taught in writing, producing and composing, she released her debut project Bits of Naaz from her bedroom and has since toured Europe four times. With her unique blend of English and Kurdish music, she earned praise from icons such as Elton John and Lana Del Rey. In 2020, Naaz chose to step away from the music industry. Three years later, she returned with Never Have I Ever, her highly acclaimed debut album that marked both an artistic and personal rebirth. With her first Kurdish alt-pop single Azadi, she made a bold statement: the track became an activist anthem for women’s rights worldwide, especially in the Middle East. Through it, Naaz further proved the power and importance of her outspoken voice in music. She went on to win awards for her music and self-directed visuals, and also signed a book deal for her first novel. Beyond the pop world, Naaz has been embraced in both the literary and orchestral spheres, often invited to perform her music with full orchestras. Celebrated for her openness about autism, diaspora and staying authentic in an unpredictable industry, Naaz continues to innovate her sound with each new project. In 2025, she released the self-produced EP Read Me, further cementing her artistry and paving the way for her sophomore album, set for release in 2026 under Believe Music. With authenticity and artistic vision, Naaz continues to mesmerize audiences in her own way. Doors: 19:00 Support: 19:30 Showtime Naaz: 20:30
