Farah Nanji
Artist/Curator, N1NJA/IMS (UK)
Farah Nanji, known as N1NJA, moves with a magnetic mystique, transforming ancestral instruments collected across her travels into ethereal, progressive, and afro-tech soundscapes. Her music is shaped by an artistic intention rooted in deep cultural storytelling.
With releases on prestigious imprints such as Mobilee and Get Physical, her work has earned the support of leading artists from Sasha to Shimza, while lighting up iconic dancefloors including Pacha Destino, Space Miami, and HÖR Berlin.
Outside the booth, Farah is driven by a mission to build a more empowering music culture. Her No.1 podcast series, Mission Makers, decodes the spirituality of success through conversations with luminaries such as Carl Cox. Her voice resonates further through her highly regarded TEDx talk on rewiring neurodiversity, and her work as an ambassador for Brian Eno’s climate foundation, EarthPercent.
In turn, her trajectory has attracted industry acclaim. DJ Mag describes her as a “fast-rising, mega-talented star,” while Beatport recently named her one of their “Emerging Artists On Their Radar,” following the successful launch of her new label, Tales of Twilight.
Always accelerating, her impact continues to reverberate through her role as a curator at IMS, where she contributes to conversations shaping the future of electronic music alongside Pete Tong, Ben Turner, and Jaguar.
