She has since performed on some of the world’s largest stages including Bonnaroo, Outside Lands and SXSW and has dedicated her life to supporting women in healing through song and sisterhood. Naia was hailed by Rolling Stone as “An Earthy-Soulstress” and her band, SayReal, was named “LA’s Hottest New Band” by US Weekly. 

A gifted and prolific songwriter Naia has written thousands of original songs and has collaborated with artists such as Linda Perry, Colbie Caillat and John Forte. She has opened for A-listers including Ziggy Marley and Michael Franti and toured nationally with ‘A Bowie Celebration.’  She has a following of over 500,000 on social media, works one on one with women and young people of color, and was recently a featured speaker at the Grantmakers in the Arts Conference in New York City.
