Nabihah Iqbal

Musician, producer, DJ, broadcaster, and ethnomusicologist - Nabihah Iqbal is a true cultural polymath. If you’ve listened to her residencies on NTS or BBC Radio 1, you know she has impeccable taste, but it is her work as a live artist where she truly shines.

Her latest album, DREAMER, saw her pivot from pure electronics to a more organic, guitar-driven sound, blending dream-pop haze with post-punk urgency. It is music that feels intimate yet expansive, filled with melancholic beauty and raw emotion.

Seeing Nabihah live is a mesmerising experience. She moves effortlessly between spoken word, singing, and shredding on the guitar, creating a soundscape that is both intellectual and deeply felt. She is the perfect artist for the "curious" side of the BTP audience - a performance that will leave you thinking as much as it makes you feel.
