What Everyone Is Saying About The CD & Live Show...

• "Austin-based Nakia projects a bold, brassy presence his first time out with a striking set of Texas-bred rhythm 'n' blues."Performing Songwriter Magazine
•"Nakia’s rich voice and lyrics that lay bare the record’s themes of discrimination, love, loss and spirituality. *Nakia’s assembled a talented band and might be Austin’s most soulful singer this side of Malford Milligan..."
