Nalu is a 22 year old artist, singer, song-writer and
producer from Cape Town. Nalu’s sound
encompasses a collection of genres and influences.
With the use of elements from jazz, R’nB, soul,
acoustic, classical, alternative and lofi sounds, she
explores themes of womanhood, love, spirituality,
growth and desire. Her work has led her to features
and collaborations with Red Bull Studios, Glamour,
Cosmopolitan, Coca-Cola, Nivea International and
PUMA South Africa, to name a few. At the heart of it
all, Nalu wishes to tell stories. An artist truly in tune
with the rhythm of who she is – ever-evolving. Her
smooth, fluid sounds tug at your heartstrings whilst
making you chuckle at the intricacies of love and
how one moves through the waves of life. Inspired
by many powerful women, Nalu follows suit in her
music by using it to express and liberate others and,
most importantly, herself.

‘Lockdown Blues’ is an ode to the waves of emotions that one
experiences in isolation. With COVID-19 hitting the world,
Nalu feels pushed to tap into the parts of herself that she
could so easily be distracted from, before lockdown. During
a weird time of unease and uncertainty, she finds peace in
the conversations in her head, embracing the unknown
whilst acknowledging her fear of it. Her reality has been
distorted and transformed into a space where she can
unpack, befriend and get cozy with her demons. Sometimes
it’s mindlessness, sometimes it’s uncomfortable, beautiful
growth. The instrumental is a guitar rendition of rhythm
and blues with jazzy undertones from which Nalu draws her
inspiration. Through her writing, she paints the notion of
healing in isolation.
“Life is suffering. Suffering is pain. Pain is growth. Growth is beautiful.” – Nalu
