A lifetime lover of music and passionate performer, Nafaika was destined to become a recording artist. Through her own hard work and the support of an already musically inclined family, she has taken the first steps in what is sure to be a long and prosperous creative career.
Nafaika has been singing for almost her entire life, developing her skills as well as her love for the craft. Now at 20 years old, she is taking the steps to become a thriving and well known artist. Supported by her father who has guided her through the developmental processes of her career, her mother who has helped with the technical and managerial points, and a collection of family and friends, she has been able to grow into the musician she is today.
A debut to her creative career, Nafaika has recently released a gorgeous cover of the classic Four Tops track “Left With A Broken Heart”. The R&B cover took upwards of four years to complete, an on and off project that now symbolizes perseverance in her eyes.
Though she wasn’t always in love with the track, Nafaika grew to appreciate the work that it took and the beauty her performance was able to pull out of the music.
“I came to really like the song. It symbolizes perseverance and getting it done,” she explained. “It took a lot from me emotionally because my dad wanted it sung a certain way. He was absolutely correct, but it took a lot of work to learn to connect and emote with the song.”
Now Nafaika is able to listen to the song and feel a sense of accomplishment. She hopes that the song gives her audience the chance to connect their own experiences. “I want people to hear the lyrics and melody in contrast to what I feel, having actually sung the song,” she said. “It’s about catching your partner in the act of cheating, processing your emotions through the anger as well as processing a broken heart.”
Though “Left With A Broken Heart” comes with a heavy hearted story, the song pairs masterfully with a light and uplifting melody. The project, produced by her Uncle, is an easy to listen to song that will leave any listener craving more.
Following the release of “Left With A Broken Heart”, Nafaika is looking forward to continuing her journey as a recording musician. She has alluded to a variety of upcoming singles and the potential for some amazing collaborations, including one with Jamaican artist Dangio.
Nafaika is looking forward to sharing the other sides of her personality through her writing and performance. “These songs won’t sound exactly like ‘Left With A Broken Heart’,” she said. “I’m excited to show the versatility my music has to offer.”
Keep an eye out for her next release as Nafaika prepares to share her next single this coming fall.
