ALL ONE (ALONE)
The 2023 Album by Growing Nai
Growing Nai was awarded the 10K DYCP Grant by the Arts Council to fund her first poetry album ‘All One (alone)’, featuring tracks produced by AB Youniverse , FreshDread, Infamous Dimez and FYKO as well as collaborations with John Bernard, Shakti Blu, Matreya and Oluv Polo.
Two days after its release, the album was picked up by BBC Introducing and Growing Nai was invited as a Featured Artist for an interview about the Album and Tour.
In 2023 Nai performed her track 'Alone' with DJ Echo Juliet's track "We Move" which Echo Juliet went on to remix in her Abandon Reality Remixes (available on all streaming platforms). We Move (Alone) has been played multiple times on BBC Radio 6 with Mary Anne Hobbs "just sounds brilliant" and BBC3cr with Radio Presenter Kerrie Cosh "This tune is everything and more".

This Artist is track of the week because I have this unreal passion for spoken word/poetry on a sick beat, you've just got me! I love discovering a new artist that I cannot get enough of and that is exactly what happened with Growing Nai. The one thing I love about Growing Nai is that she's got this real beauty and eloquent way of speaking about so many issues. So if you like the likes of Self Esteem, Little Simz, Artists that speak about real issues, you're going to love this.
