Naji - Topic

Naji is a music artist, musician, singer/songwriter, and mix engineer. 

While initially starting his musical career solely as a drummer, "a dream about a potato" in early 2015 brought a swift change of direction, and subsequently, his first single, "Baked Potatoes" as the solo vocalist and producer. The single was surprisingly well received, and gave Naji enough momentum to develop a more matured and contemplative singing/writing style. 

Then, at the beginning of 2016, Naji released a startlingly complex, yet demure and intimate single, "Fallen" with producer Glasstempo. This caught the attention of notable platforms & labels (Majestic Casual, Soulection, Lyrical Lemonade, Pigeons and Planes) and shot Naji to the forefront of Indie R&B. 

Throughout 2016-2018, Naji released 50+ collaborative projects, including his most notable single "Mona Lisa" with Grammy-nominated producer monte booker, his debut album, "Misfit", and in collaboration with Splice, a live-drum sample pack, "Mr. Drummer Boy", which has been utilized and praised by top artists/producers like Giveon, Labrinth, JID, Kenny Beats, D-Mile, DEAN + more.

From 2019-2022, Naji went on hiatus, releasing only a handful of singles, with intent to rebrand and recalibrate his sound and vision.

Now, with his own projects and production contributions having tallied up more than 400,000,000+ streams, 2023 brings a refined Naji, and he is currently working on his Sophomore album.
