Naya Ali signs with Bonsound

Bonsound is proud to welcome Ethiopian-born, Canadian-raised rapper Naya Ali to its label and booking rosters!

Naya Ali is an award-winning rap and hip-hop artist who burst onto the scene in 2017 with her first EP, Higher Self. Assertive in her raspy deliveries and exceptional flow, she is quickly noticed for her unique vocal tone and ability to move in and out of flow pockets skillfully. In March 2020, she released the first part of a two-album project, Godspeed: Baptism (Prelude), where she broke the ice and proved her potential to contend within the American and international hip-hop markets.

In 2021, she released the sequel to this opus, Godspeed: Elevated, an earnest body of work showcasing her journey from her baptism into the rap game to her imminent elevation. This latest project earned her the prestigious English Album of the Year award at the 44th ADISQ Gala in 2022 and the Rap Album of the Year award at the GAMIQ that same year.

Since the release of her last project, Naya Ali has toured internationally acclaimed festivals such as SXSW (USA), Great Escape (UK), Printemps de Bourges (France), Dour Festival (Belgium), Les Georges Festival (Switzerland), All That Matters (Singapore), FEQ (Canada), Reeperbahn (Germany) and many more.

Naya Ali is an artist who does not hide her international ambitions; her current success on a national scale bodes a bright future for this Montreal rapper.
