About Nao

First Steps

Her early songs Neo Jessica uploaded to SoundCloud in 2014 and in this way got the attention of the labels. However, Nao preferred to start her own label, Little Tokyo, where she wrote down her first 5-track EP “So Good”, released in October 2014. Her second 5-track EP, “February 15”, was also issued on Little Tokyo in May 2015. Neo Jessica’s voice, which is simultaneously youthful and wise-sounding, is often compared to that of a young Deniece Williams. The same year, she was among those established and upcoming artists who cooperated with “Disclosure”'s “Caracal”.

Honors

Nao performed at Glastonbury Festival in June 2015 and in September 2015, she became a nominee for best newcomer of 2015 at MOBO Awards. Neo Jessica was included into the list of BBC Sound of...2016 prize in November 2015, and took the third place in January 2016.

The most popular of Nao’s songs are “So Good” (2014) from “So Good (EP)”, “Zillionaire” (2014) from “February 15 (EP), “Bad Blood” (2015) “Fool to Love” (2016), “Girlfriend” (2016) from “For All We Know”. Her first studio album is going to be issued on July 29, 2016.
