NANYANA
As original as they are diverse "...commands your attention...intense, emotive, hypnotic vocal performances…a multi-textured, musical canvas…pure emotion and clever lyrics...creative and musical potency…" is a quote describing their uniquely defined sound. With help from their friend Speech of "Arrested Development", "Thousand Miles" was tracked and recorded at his Podium Studios. Recently NANYANA completed their Debut CD at Glow In the Dark Studios with Matt Goldman serving up a unique flavor all their own showing maturity, diversity, adaptation and an overflow of creativity in the studio.
NANYANA, which is the lead singer's name, meaning, "face like a flower" in her native Thai, has broadbase appeal and has performed in all types of venues. At home in clubs as well as concert halls, NANYANA's indefinable style is appropriate in any venue.
"The best thing I have heard from the South in a long time... the finesse of pop, the power of rock-n-blues and the drive of funk...", says Gods Of Music.com. . . .has molded a blend of jazz, funk, and rock with a style and fluidity that is seldom seen in an unsigned act" says Atlanta Shows.com. And an article published in HEET Magazine out of Chicago with US and Canadian distribution.
Stage Performance
Snagging the notable attention of Speech; picking up a regular rotation at Atlanta's best venue after only six outings and shooting to the TOP 40 on the Internet at SoundClick.com in less than two weeks is how NANYANA got started. Their polished stage presence, consistent crowd draw, and mature musical performance continues to build as NANYANA's resourceful and versatile sound steps into the future.
Music
Exposure to all aspects of music has helped NANYANA's musicians conjure up the band's unique sound. Each player brings a different genre of musical styles and flavor, at the same time staying cohesive and being compared widely to Natalie Merchant, No Doubt, AeroSmith and Alanis Morissette meet Red Hot Chili Peppers!

 Lyrics Mysterious melodies with soulful personal verses mark NANYANA's heartfelt lyrics. Each of the band members has written or contributed to songs that refuse to be cliché in a music scene that is overwhelmed with band-wagon copycats. |
Professionalism Seamless transitions, international flavor, exemplary attitudes and an eagerness to perform beyond the normal measure, mark NANYANA as a band with a sound that is totally their own. No venue is too small or too large for a performance that, without a doubt, is "rock the house" memorable. |
