About

Naaz (Naaz Mohammed, born 1998) is a Dutch-Kurdish singer-songwriter, producer and writer from Rotterdam, whose parents fled Iraqi Kurdistan during the Gulf War. A self-taught musician, she broke through with her 2018 EP Bits of Naaz and two Edison Awards, then stepped away from the industry before returning in 2023 as an independent artist with her debut album Never Have I Ever - a record rooted in Kurdish identity, diaspora and personal freedom.
