Nayana AB is an outstanding songwriter, musician and producer, who, for me, is taking influences from great songwriters of the past but making the music in very much her own vision. She’s using that history and those legacies positively to shape her own future and the future of others. I think this is exactly what legacy is about and how it’s intended to be used. She recently won the Dr Martens Made Strong music in the community competition which landed her a show alongside the brilliant Ezra Collective. She’s played the Great Escape and We Out Here festivals, performed alongside Jake Bugg and Raye and is studying for a Masters in Global Black Studies, decolonisation and social justice as well as working at UD, the music organisation that incubates and nurtures black and culturally diverse artists.  It's an honour to spend some time with her and listen to someone who has the talent and desire to shape the future of music. https://www.iwannajumplikedeedee.com I Wanna Jump Like Dee Dee is the music podcast that does music interviews differently.
