After over a decade in music, DJing, and radio, NAINA is stepping into the spotlight as a producer with her debut single, “I’d Rather Be Here (Than Anywhere With You),”
Known for co-founding Hooversound alongside SHERELLE in 2019, NAINA's latest venture showcases her artistry from a new angle, blending ethereal vocals, bass-heavy beats, and nods to electro and techno. Capturing NAINA’s creative evolution and her deep-rooted connection to club culture.
Alongside the single, NAINA has announced her first full project, ‘Survival’, set for release on February 7, 2025.

She shares,
“This was the first track I made for my debut EP. I wanted to create something atmospheric that builds to a euphoric ending. I started with a techno base, but the breaks felt so natural to add, capturing the young raver in me. Production has always been a cathartic release, and with this track, I felt fully ready to share what I can do.”
Channelling influences from artists like The Prodigy, FKA Twigs, and Hooversound artist Prayer, and serves as a powerful introduction to her producer identity.
Known for her energy behind the decks, NAINA has performed at major festivals including Glastonbury, Outlook, and Boomtown, and has graced Boiler Room twice.
