About Me
Nariah Francois is an R&B / Pop artist from Atlanta, Georgia, home of TLC, Monica, and Kelly Rowland. Nariah began honing her sultry, vibrant voice at an early age as a performer in the Youth Ensemble of Atlanta (YEA), which fostered opportunities for her to perform on a plethora of major stages such as Fox Theater, The Rialto, & State Farm Arena.
Nariah attended The College of Wooster where she founded “Shades of Gold”, a co-ed A Cappella group that went on to be the first student-led music group in the college’s history to release an EP and travel the country performing. Following her time at Wooster, Nariah moved to Los Angeles to pursue her music career. Since moving to the West Coast, she has continued performing and touring with recording artists such as Kesha, Sabrina Carpenter, Bea Miller, and Tuxedo.
Before releasing original music, Nariah had already garnered attention from her reggae cover of “Let It Go” by James Bay, culminating in over 600,000 streams on Spotify alone.
In 2019, Nariah released her first independent single entitled “Don’t Sleep”. This ‘in your face’ hip-hop/pop track was the turning point for Nariah as an artist, as it was the first song that allotted her true creative freedom. Her growth continued to speak for itself in her follow-up edgy 2020 R&B single “Cuddle SZN".
In addition to her work as an artist, Nariah is also a vocal coach for all levels of singers to pass on what she has learned as a professional vocalist. Nariah has found a passion and a purpose in helping others grow in their vocal ability.
