For Nadira Farid, jazz was not originally a profession. It started as a hobby and a way to unwind after the daily routine of life in Australia.
With an Indonesian background and a career as a nurse, Nadira lives between two very different worlds. On one side, she works in a profession that requires dedication and care for others. On the other, she finds freedom and self expression through music.
Her journey has taken her beyond performing in just one place. Nadira continues to explore different stages and opportunities across Australia, sharing her unique voice and musical style with audiences from one city to another.
Nadira also finds great joy in seeing people enjoy her music. For her, performing is not just about singing on stage, but also about sharing stories and positive energy through music. Her journey across Australia has introduced her to many new people. From city to city, she has made new friends and met people who have become like family. Every stage creates a new memory, and every place brings new people into her musical journey.
