Episode: 07 Nia J
Nia welcomed us into her stylish mill apartment in east Charlotte that she shares with her wife and their dog. Nia's warmth and hospitality was on display as she baked banana bread for us and the other guests.
She filled the space (high, exposed ceilings) with a soaring yet subtle vocal performance, accompanied by Damani Lawes on guitar and ukulele. Nia also shared insights on the creative process and the act of creating within her own space. We left her candle-lit home with a cozy feeling; and we can’t wait to hear more from Nia.
