Naaz

Dutch-Kurdish singer, producer and writer Naaz brings her unique blend of English and Kurdish alt-pop to Rotterdam.

Self-taught in writing, producing and composing, Naaz released her debut project Bits of Naaz from her bedroom and has since toured Europe four times. Her music has earned praise from Elton John and Lana Del Rey. In 2020, she stepped away from the industry, returning three years later with Never Have I Ever, her acclaimed debut album that marked both an artistic and personal rebirth.

With her Kurdish alt-pop single Azadi, Naaz made a bold statement. The track became an activist anthem for women’s rights worldwide, particularly in the Middle East. She has since won awards for her music and self-directed visuals, and signed a book deal for her first novel. Beyond pop music, she has been embraced in literary and orchestral spheres, often performing with full orchestras.

In 2025, she released the self-produced EP Read Me, paving the way for her sophomore album set for release in 2026. Celebrated for her openness about autism, diaspora and staying authentic, Naaz continues to mesmerize audiences.

This concert is presented by Rotown, Arminius and MOMO Concerts.
