Australian singer Nishka set for Nigerian debut - Punch Newspapers

Australian pop singer Nishka is set to make her Nigerian debut performance at Escape, an art exhibition featuring works by artist and author Fortune Ileleji and Grammy-winning musician and producer Tejiri Sonics. The Melbourne-based singer has been invited as a special musical guest at the exhibition, where she will bring her blend of soulful vocals, contemporary pop and rhythm-driven production to the Lagos audience. The appearance marks a new chapter in Nishka’s musical journey, introducing her sound to Nigerian audiences through a platform that brings together music and contemporary visual art. Raised in Melbourne in a family of Macedonian heritage, Nishka grew up listening to soul, funk, hip-hop, house, and traditional music from her family background. She began singing at the age of 10, while also participating in competitive martial arts, before deciding at 15 to pursue music full-time. Those influences continue to shape her musical identity, with her sound combining emotional storytelling, expressive vocals and infectious rhythms. Her songs explore themes of love, desire and self-discovery, often balancing vulnerability with confidence. Her forthcoming debut single, On My Mind, is expected to offer listeners an introduction to her distinctive musical style. The exhibition, Escape, brings together the creative expressions of Ileleji, author of The Law of Cohesion, and Tejiri Sonics, whose work spans music production and other creative pursuits. Nishka’s performance is expected to add a musical dimension to the exhibition, creating an intersection between visual art and sound. For Nishka, making her first performance in Nigeria at an event that combines different art forms offers an opportunity to connect with a new audience and expand her artistic reach. The singer’s participation also highlights the growing intersection of music and visual art as platforms for cultural exchange and creative expression.
