Nadia Vaeh - RiSE

Put this record on play

Rainbows shining our way

Thought we'd go but we gon stay

Life's a ride, not a raceway


Slippin out these scared skins

They feed us hate like love is a sin

Our eyes were closed

We could only see the dream

They tried to cage us

But they didn't get our wings



I was flowin’ with the tide

But now I'm ‘bout to light up

Like a fire (fire)

So baby let's get high

We've learned how to fly

Oh my

Blue skies

Good vibes



Coastin’ I’m floatin’

We on the horizon

Like angels, we rising

We were never broken

Lightning in motion

Striking old notions


I was flowin’ with the tide

But now I'm ‘bout to light up

Like a fire (fire)

So baby let's get high

We've learned how to fly

Oh my

Blue skies

Good vibes



I was flowin’ with the tide

But now I'm ‘bout to light up

Like a fire (fire)

So baby let's get high

We've learned how to fly

Oh my

Blue skies

Good vibes



The worlds a raceway baby

But life is a ride

So close ya eyes n feel the wind kiss ya skin

Life's a ri ri ri ride



Wooo

I just pulled up in the coupe

I had to take off the roof I

Had to fuel up with the truth

I feel like I cannot lose



I just invaded the scene

Had to believe, rolled up my sleeves

I put in work and I watered the seeds

We been through shit they wouldn’t believe



If you felt pain then you know that feeling

My heart is pouring, my heart is still bleeding

Rise up - the world need leaders

We got love - stay undefeated



Whether its Jesus, Mohammed or Buddhist

If you dig deep then its love at the root and

We gotta ride together for the movement



Life’s a ride – Not a raceway



I was flowin’ with the tide

But now I'm ‘bout to light up

Like a fire (fire)

So baby let's get high

We've learned how to fly

Oh my

Blue skies

Good vibes



I was flowin’ with the tide

But now I'm ‘bout to light up

Like a fire (fire)

So baby let's get high

We've learned how to fly

Life's a ride, not a Raceway

A native of Atlanta with an American mother and a Lebanese father, Nadia Vaeh found her way into artistry through modeling and joining a local Atlanta circus. She started singing in their productions, but this was not the beginning of her artistic roots.

Nadia’s love of music and singing began at the age of two and was nurtured by her parents by placing her into a traveling youth-choir. Her mother was a poet and passed on her love of words, which later lent to fuel her as a lyricist. Nadia lost her mom to suicide at the age of 17, which shifted the course of the young artist.

She dismantled her high-school band and strayed from songwriting and singing for years, other than the occasional karaoke. After this tragic loss, she states that she went down a path of self-sabotage and destruction and used relationships and partying to ignore her pain. When she finally decided to begin again with artistry, she was a shell of a person and looking to anyone and anything for answers to deal with her heartbreak. “I made a lot of missteps when I first began my career and had to learn a lot of things the hard way.”

With her endless resilience, she has grown into a performer, has had her music recently played on international radio, and is looking forward to sharing more of her music here in the US and around the world.

She has written well over 100 songs born from the things she’s experienced – to her songwriting is not only personally healing, but is also a platform to help others heal and make waves with social matters. Having written in several genres, her fascination lies with pop because; as she put it, “You can tell a story and create even more movement with that story through catchy lyrics and melodies”.
