With a name meaning “oracle” Nashon was born to sing healing. NPR refers to her live music as “crisp and colorful,” and the soulful sound of her jazz-tinged voice and guitar-playing is soulful and spiritual. Nashon is an accomplished singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, and educator with over 15 years of live performance and professional recording across multiple genres - including jazz, symphonic, R&B, soul, classical, and folk. A native Michigander, honed her musical prowess under the mentorship of pillars such as Motown’s Velvelettes, The Funk Brothers, and Narada Michael Walden (esteemed writer and producer for music greats such as Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey). Nashon’s recording career began in 2016 with the independent release of her studio album “The Palace & the Hut”. The album was an 11-song expression of how she sought to introduce herself as an artist – colorfully melodic, yet boldly diverse. As a sought-after writer and vocalist, she has also lent her talents on over a dozen recorded and live projects for fellow artists, television, and film. Outside of the studio, Nashon is a consummate live performer having graced stages internationally as a headliner and sharing stages with the likes of David Foster, Tank & the Bangas, Bobby McFerrin, Hans Zimmer, Liv Warfield. Ruben Studdard, Clay Aiken, and more.
