The Jazz Disruptor: Niia Presents V at Blue Note Los Angeles

HOLLYWOOD, CA – Genre-blurring provocateur Niia brings her “composed and chaotic” vision to Blue Note Los Angeles on Sunday, March 1, 2026. Celebrating the release of her new album, V (Candid Records), the performance marks a return to Niia’s jazz-trained roots while firmly establishing her as a modern disruptor of the genre.

A classically and jazz-trained vocalist who counts Sarah Vaughan and Chet Baker as primary influences, Niia has crafted an evening that dances between traditional standards and experimental pop. Her new project, V, eschews well-worn covers for bold, original music that blends electronic textures with the high-level interplay of live, jazz-rooted musicianship.

The Beauty and the Bruise

Known for lyrics that live in the “sweet spot between self-love and self-loathing,” Niia’s performance promises to be both “lyrically brazen and hysterical.” Fans can expect a setlist featuring:

• “fucking happy” – A spellbinding showcase of her vocal range.

• “Ronny Cammareri” – A high-energy ode to Nicolas Cage’s character in Moonstruck.

• “Throw My Head Out the Window” – A synth-heavy collaboration featuring rising-star saxophonist Nicole McCabe.

Closing with her poignant take on the standard “Angel Eyes,” Niia demonstrates the technical command that led the New York Times to describe her voice as “husky in depth but tender in tone.”
