Naisha Re-Introduces Herself On Debut EP '911'
Rising star Naisha has released her three-track EP, '911', re-introducing herself as artist whose sound pulls together Hindi influences, Caribbean rhythms and the heavy low end of dubstep.
At the centre of the project is ‘CONTRABAND’, produced with longtime collaborator Skrillex, who has made the record a recurring feature in his live sets as of late. The track is a particularly clear introduction to Naisha’s approach, pairing bass-heavy production with a distinctly South Asian perspective and Bollywood-inspired visual world.
The EP follows Naisha’s recent run of collaborations and releases, with ‘911’ establishing a broader musical identity that sits comfortably between electronic music, pop and her own cultural influences.
There’s a sense that Naisha is building towards something bigger than a single genre or scene. Rather than treating her influences as separate ingredients, ‘911’ brings them together into something that feels deliberately hard to categorise.
"For the last few years, people have heard me through collaborations and features, but those songs were only a glimpse into my world. With ‘911’, I finally get to share a project that feels completely mine. My melodies, my influences, my perspective start to finish.
‘911’ is authentically me. Every part of it. I am excited to be at a stage where I can make things imperfectly perfect and trust myself enough to put them out into the world," Naisha shares.
'911' is out now via Desi Trill Music / Interscope Records.
