Nishla is an artist driven by a desire to tell stories. Her unique musical sensibility, along with this preoccupation with narrative is recurrent throughout a diverse array of musical projects. She's recently made work for Opera North, Lancaster Jazz Festival and Manchester Collective. in 2021, Nishla released her debut album ‘Friends With Monsters’ for Whirlwind Recordings. Described by Downbeat USA as, “a darkly gorgeous interior sonic world," the release was complimented by a series of commissioned artworks and three enchantingly theatrical music videos, developed with the support of Arts Council England. She’s joined tonight by her duo partner, improvising pianist Tom Harris.
