Nooriyah, unmistakably, has paved her own lane when it comes to
dance music. Connecting dots between diverse global music
cultures; Nooriyah has made it her focus to blur those same lines,
focusing on creating vivid musical diversity in her work without
being told she can’t merge those vast musical communities.
Raised between Saudi, Japan and the UK where she is now based,
Nooriyah, known for her work as DJ, audio producer and presenter, has
spent the past decade championing sounds of the diaspora. Founding
SWANA focused collaborative in London ‘Middle of Nowhere’ which
went on to host her debut Boiler Room—achieving over 6,000,000
views since.
Since her emergence into dance music, Nooriyah has gained
international acclaim and performed at venues and festivals globally
such as Glastonbury, Nitsa and sold out her headline shows in London
at KOKO, EartH, Jazz Cafe and Colour Factory. As well as her debut
European headline tour Middle of Everywhere. Nooriyah was also the
only Arab woman to perform at the Coachella line up in 2025.
Nooriyah has also produced work for BBC 4 and continues to build
upon her deep musical knowledge with other audio-visual projects,
including work within soundtracks for film and tv.
It is no surprise that Nooriyah has built a following that not only
celebrates what she is trying to create, but wishes to build it with her.
