"The show ended to a thunderous applause and I have little doubt that if there had been voting machines placed in the BAM Café (Brooklyn, New York), that Nadir could have been elected President, right on the spot!!" - Bob Davis, Soul-Patrol.com
"This Southern-bred singer-songwriter and his stalwart band play with an aplomb that could raise the corpses of Marley and Hendrix. No $h!t To label them simply neo-soul would be downright reductive.” Metro Times, Detroit

Some artists defy classification.
Detroit’s revolutionary soul man, Nadir, rebels against it.

His solo debut Distorted Soul 2.0 was crowned “Best Funk Album of the Year” by Soul-Patrol.com and earned a Detroit Music Award for “Outstanding Urban Funk/Hip-Hop Recording”, after international spins on Urban A/C, Rock, Urban Contemporary and even Smooth Jazz radio.

Slave: The Remixtape, which offers fourteen very different remixes of Nadir’s award-winning composition “Slave” (and six additional tracks online) - in Crunk, Funk, Hip-hop, Rock, Funky House, Techno styles and more - was a #5 Breakout track on Billboard’s Club Play chart, and picked up the 2008 Detroit Music Award for Outstanding Electronic Dance Recording.

Witnesses can catch Nadir skanking funk guitar on tour in the U.S., Canada or Europe, or rocking an acoustic in front of the White House demanding that George Bush step down. His funk-rock jam band, Distorted Soul, rips through Nadir’s diverse originals, then fires off hard rocking versions of soul classics like “Love TKO” or reincarnates rock anthems like “Life in the Fast Lane” as dance floor friendly funk burners.

Topping it all off was his stint with MTV covering the election as the Choose or Lose 2008 correspondent to the state of Michigan.

“When you get right down to it,” Nadir explains, “I’m all about telling stories, singing songs and making music that moves people - spiritually, emotionally, physically, politically, whatever. Don’t just sit there! Do something!”
