WHAT IT IS: Beginning the rollout for her debut EP in March with just 2k monthly Spotify listeners, NERIAH has rocketed to new heights, thanks to her modern-day pop writing and poignant vocals. In under a year, the 22-year-old singer-songwriter has grown her monthly listeners to 1.4m+, co-headlined a sold-out show at The Troubadour, premiered her debut EP on The Zane Lowe Show and more. The arrival of her eight-track sophomore EP, How Do I Get Clean?, drew editorial support across DSPs, while lead single “Fuck You Matthew” received praise from the likes of Lauren Spencer Smith, Ashe and SZA. The EP’s follow-up single, “SH!TSHOW,” is due 11/11.
