Nia was a part of a long list of new Rinse Residents for Autumn 2021. The list contained names such as Kumail, Halfports, Watch the ride,  Ana Kim, Breaka, Izco, Bailey Ibbs, Pretty Hood and 18 other DJs including Nia Archive.

Nia is a 21-year-old artist breaking out in the Jungle scene, she is a producer, singer, songwriter and director and was brought through in 2020 by the E150 mentorship who help Women to progress in Jungle and Drum and bass.

The 21-year-old singer released her debut project Headz gone west during the peak of the coronavirus lockdown in 2021, despite her music being high energy music made for raves and parties the project was well-received during the height of the pandemic and the 5 track project currently sits on 3.3 million Spotify streams.

In an interview with UKF the young songstress said this about making and releasing her music during the pandemic, “It’s mad. Sometimes I think about it and I’m like – wow… During lockdown, I’ve been focusing on making music and creating. I don’t think anyone will ever have this much time again, so I’ve tried to make the most of it. I’ve been able to create lots of little videos to go alongside my music too.”

With the country reopening the 21-year-old has been able to finally get out and perform her music to live crowds. Just last week Nia performed for the first time in Brighton to perform her songs and DJ a jungle set at an intimate venue just under the Brighton train station, The green door store.
