During the pandemic last year, Nya and her fiancé tucked away in the countryside
of Uruguay. “It was here I was finally able to slow down and process unresolved
trauma, something I had never taken the time for but desperately needed,” Nya
says.
“That time of quiet reflection changed me for the better, and I felt strong and
whole enough (with proper guidance) to ween off an antidepressant I’d been
taking since I was 18,” the singer-songwriter tells American Songwriter. “I’ll
be honest, towards the end of the tapering process, the withdrawal symptoms were
brutal, and it thrust me back into a period of depression.”
Nya’s new song “Won’t Pick Up the Phone,” co-written with Femke, serves as “my
reminder during that time to power through while my body and mind adjusted. I
had spent so much time afraid of my mind before this experience, and when the
symptoms finally abated, I felt empowered in the realization I was strong enough
to pull myself out of that dark place.
“I’d love people listening to take from this song that while being alive on this
planet can be a beautiful thing, it also challenges us,” she continues. “The
darkness and pain which come from those challenges are universally human. When
we can see that commonality, instead of feeling self-hate, we empower ourselves
to be able to face those painful feelings without the fear that they’ll swallow
us whole.”
Pain got my number, wants to hold me tight / Heartbreak, she, haunts me on a
lonely night, sings Nya over an Adele meets Amy Winehouse intensity, collecting
up emotional fragments into a sharp, bright mosaic. They must’ve called me a
million times / Give me strength / They’re no friends of mine.
In the accompanying visual, directed by Grant Spanier, Nya endures an almost out
of body experience, as her physical form seems to levitate through the physical
world without real awareness. Try bringing me to hell tonight, but I won’t budge
/ I’ve seen the darkness, and I prefer the sun, she reveals the darkest edges of
her heart. You almost broke me, but it wasn’t enough / You underestimate what
I’d do for love.
Originally from Tampa, Nya fell in love with the work of Frank Sinatra, Billie
Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, and Aretha Franklin at a very early age, before turning
her attention to such contemporary predecessors as Amy Winehouse. “I would sing
along and feel blissfully free, finally able to expel all these bottled-up
feelings,” she reflects. “To this day, that’s what singing makes me feel.
“Music and songwriting have a healing power and an ability to show people they
aren’t alone,” she adds, “whether that’s in their joy or suffering. It certainly
has provided that kind of solace for me; it is my therapeutic diary. I’m
constantly evolving, sonically, especially as I learn and grow. But one word I
hope will always describe what I put out there is: sincere.”
Nya began releasing a string of singles in 2017, leading into an EP called
Southland in 2018. More singles followed, as well as a follow-up EP, Hold On, in
2019. Throughout her burgeoning songwriting career so far, she has certainly
picked up a few tricks of the trade. The biggest being “to be open, to learn, to
collaborate, and to your own intuition,” she says, offering a bit of advice to
newer songwriters. “When you allow your heart and mind to be open to people and
ideas (that keep your health and safety in mind), you don’t limit yourself.”
“Won’t Pick Up the Phone” anchors a forthcoming EP, titled Requiem of Me, slated
for release later this year. Meanwhile, Nya preps “some fun live performance
content coming, and I’m back in the studio working on an album,” she teases.
“With the world slowly opening up, I’m pumped to be out there working and
collaborating again in real life.”
