Egyptan singer-songwriter and musician, Nadya Shanab was born and raised in Cairo Egypt in 1987. She holds a BA (Hons) Music degree from The Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts (LIPA) and an MA (with distincion) in Music industry Studies. Having moved back to Egypt following the 2011 revoluion, Shanab released her debut album “El Mahrousa” independently through her own record label Hamzet Wasl Records. However, due to governmental restrictions, censorship and obstacles, the album wasn’t physically released in Egypt un%l 2012, where it was the number 1 best seller in Virgin Megastores for its debut month. The album originally featured 10 tracks which interlaced Arabic and Western elements in both the Arabic and English language.
As a precursor to her upcoming EP, due to be released March 2020, "El Mahrousa" has been re-released as a 'Deluxe Edition' featuring three previously unofficially released tracks - Egypt's Waiting for Me, In a Fit of Remorse and Sweet Goodbye to You.
Her upcoming EP is to act as a stepping stone between the music of “El Mahrousa” and the Afro-Egyptian sound she is developing for her next album, hoping to reconnect Egypt with the rest of Africa musically. In preparation, research and development for this new direction, Nadya Shanab embarked on a trip, traveling to select locations around the African continent, starting with Nigeria and Kenya, exploring different local genres and music scenes as well networking, creating and collaborating with local musicians during her travels.
Shanab has performed at international festivals and events in Cairo, Alexandria, Hurghada, Lagos, Libreville, London, Birmingham and Liverpool. She has participated in conferences and workshops in Cairo, London, Liverpool, Libreville and Accra as well as served as a panelist at Mosaiques Festival conference in London discussing the Music Industry of the Arab world post Arab Spring.
