Biography

Nahara is a singer and prolific songwriter originally from Wisconsin. She grew up in a multi-generational musical family and plays guitar, piano, french horn and trumpet. “Our coffee table was a bass drum. We had instruments hanging on all the walls, Cello, guitars, sitar, violins, you name it.. and both my dad and grandpa had record rooms, with thousands of records in them so I was heavily influenced by the Beatles, classical composers, Big band and Jazz singers and whatever rare pile of records dad would leave on my bed to listen to. There was just always music.” 
 Nahara moved to LA in 2012 after writing 300 songs that year alone and earning an independent publishing deal. She was a featured vocalist on Grammy nominee David Arkenstone’s ‘Songs from the Aqua Lounge’ in 2016. Also in that year, Nahara was asked to write a score of original songs for a documentary film. She hired legendary producer Bill Bottrell to help with the film project and the two enjoyed working together so much they continued on to create her debut studio album, Innocent, up in Bill’s old redwood barn on California’s Mendocino coast. “We wrote all the songs, (except “I want you”, which we had done together for a sweet little local Bob Dylan festival) and we played nearly all the instruments on the album. We had total time and freedom to make what inspired us and tell the deeply human stories we wanted to tell.”
