NARDEAN

Nardean is an Australian born MC, spoken word poet, singer and songwriter who carries with her the ancient mysticism of her Egyptian heritage. Her work is motivated by the unflinching pursuit of honesty, integrity and authentic feminine force. As a performer Nardean displays an unfiltered humanity that allows her to connect with anyone, no matter how complex or cosmic her subject matter is.Born into an Egyptian family and raised in Sydney’s west, Nardean began her musical exploration at the age of 22. As a consequence of growing up within a culture that did not support the notion of a woman becoming a musician - let alone a genre bending, thought provoking, ass shaking contemporary hip hop artist - she was forced to overcome some serious obstacles in her journey.

Nardean has cemented herself as a force to be reckoned with in the Australian Hip Hop scene. Traversing rap, singing and poetry, her music is an eclectic mix of heartfelt lyricism and honest self reflection, contrasted with queen anthems and middle finger raising bangers.

Nardean has coined the term “post hop” to describe her style. She is heavily influenced by hip hop, while also drawing on elements of neo-soul, electronica, glitch and RnB. She sits in a pocket of the musical realm that is mostly uncharted, yet buzzing and burgeoning.

A warm presence, a commanding magnetism and the occasional giggling fit ensure that Nardean will continue to captivate audiences, while contributing significantly to the changing face of Australian music.
