Nabiyah Be 

Poetry, performance, dance, and music shape Nabiyah Be: a songwriter, singer, music producer, and actress. The Brazilian-Jamaican artist is influenced by the cultural richness of Brazil and the Americas, guiding her work toward a seamless fusion of her international experience.

Described by The New York Times as possessing a "hypnotizing" voice, she was the first Black Brazilian woman to win the Drama Desk Award, one of the most prestigious theater awards in the U.S. She starred in the Tony and Grammy-winning musical Hadestown and portrayed Simone Jackson, a disco music pioneer, in the Emmy-winning miniseries Daisy Jones & The Six. On the big screen, she brought to life the villain Linda in the Oscar-winning Black Panther.

In 2025, she released O QUE O SOL QUER, her debut album. Tracks like POÇO AZUL, EVERYBODY, and HERO, produced in collaboration with Marcelo de Lamare and C-AFROBRASIL, paved the way for this journey—a celebration of reconnecting with her roots and returning home.
