Nana Rashid (DK/OM)

With her acclaimed debut album Music for Betty (2023), Nana Rashid has established herself as one of the strongest new voices on the Nordic jazz scene. The album received five-star reviews and positioned Rashid at the centre of contemporary music with an expression that feels both timeless and deeply personal.

Critics have compared her voice to Nina Simone - not as imitation, but in power, seriousness, and emotional weight.

According to Rashid herself, Music for Betty is a tribute to the vulnerable sides of human nature - the place where lived experience and pain feel most acute, and where music emerges.
