Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, the enigmatic Nai Palm of Grammy-nominated group Hiatus Kaiyote has taken the contemporary music scene by storm. Nai Palm’s distinct vocal approach, said to be influenced by the likes of Billie Holiday, Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder, paired with her eclectic sense of style and unique personality contribute to the freedom and originality of her artistry. Nai Palm’s songwriting breaks formula and expresses a gritty soulfulness comparable to the likes of Erykah Badu and Lauryn Hill, all the while maintaining a sound that is distinctly her own. Nai Palm and Hiatus Kaiyote have collaborated with big-time music makers such as Q-Tip and Taylor McFerrin, and have proven to be artists to watch out for with another successful album release from 2015, Choose Your Weapon.
