NISHA on SoundBetter

Hello! My name is Nisha. I am a Grammy nominated, Platinum Certified Singer-Songwriter and dog mama. You might recognize me as the writer of the song "Feel Good," by Gryffin, Illenium & Daya. I've written hits all over the world and would love to help you bring your music to life.

I have made music across all genres. I think a good top-line is the key to a successful song. In addition to songwriting, I offer vocal coaching and vocal arrangement.

Making good music that reaches a lot of people is truly my passion, so if that's what you're looking for, I hope we can create some magic together.

Nisha was a pleasure to work with! She brought fantastic energy to each session, came up with an awesome top line / lyrical story, and was super responsive to any feedback or thoughts I had. Nisha really helped me grow as a songwriter during our time collaborating.

I'd highly recommend working with her! I'm certainly looking forward to the next time!

Nisha is one of the most gifted songwriters I've ever had the chance of working with and she's a vocal powerhouse! We've done a bunch of projects together (with major label artists too) - she always comes up with amazing, catchy topline melodies and she's quick with revisions. I'm thankful for the friendship we formed through SoundBetter and then in actual studio sessions. Not to forget, she has credits with several A-list artists and legendary writers!

Interview with NISHA

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Computer, Interface, Mic, Keyboard and my dog Simba :)
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Go with your gut and find a good listener.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: If I write it with you, the song will represent you. You will feel like something essential about who you are is being expressed and that through sharing that song, you are really connecting with each person who listens to it. If I sing it... it's gonna be dope.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That it's easy and all creative! SO much of editing ESPECIALLY with vocals is like surgery... it takes a tremendous amount of skill, focus and an understanding of the bigger picture of the song to do it well.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I like to know the full scope and intention of the project as well as any post production plans!
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I've been singing and writing music since I was 10. I was classically trained as an opera singer but always sang in big bands and jazz ensembles on the side. In my 20s I started working in the music industry as an artist. I've since written and produced music for myself and some of the artists you hear on the radio :)
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Music for sure :) It's the one thing I'm really good at.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: pop-swag-folk
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Sia - I just think she's a brilliant writer and singer who has been behind so much of the pop music I've loved for the last 20 years. Prince and Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) all come to mind as well because they write honestly and end up being trailblazers by being authentic.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: It has to feel good. It can't just be clever, or well thought out or arranged - at the end of the day, if it doesn't feel good, it won't matter - no one will listen to it.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Radio and mainstream pop, some independent work, dance music and singer-songwriter stuff!
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Uniqueness, swagger, authenticity, catchy melodies, meaningful lyrics.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: If I'm writing with an artist, it usually starts with a conversation about who they are and what they want to communicate and we go from there. If it's a voice lesson or vocal production, I'll usually spend some time listening to the singer and then adjusting the technique based on what they are trying to accomplish with the recording.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I either record at home, or use a studio that I'm really comfortable in close by. I can get songs demo'd within 48 hours.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I'm either writing a song with or for my client. I also work on live singing technique, recording technique and vocal identity. I career coach artists; helping them set goals, timelines and then work through whatever is in the way of them achieving their goals during weekly sessions.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Sia, Pharrell, Justin Vernon, Kanye West, Frank Ocean
