Naima is a composer and an ecologist, with a degree in the running for longest title: Bachelor of Science in Ecology and Conservation Biology (Honours). They live in Narrm (so-called "Melbourne") where they write music, garden, cycle, and make pickles.

Sometimes they play flute, cello or bass in music orchestras, activist street bands and punk rock bands. Their record collection includes Laurie Anderson, Bartok and Martika. They're a 5th generation musician: their grandma Joanne Fine won a spot at the London Royal Academy of Music alongside Joan Sutherland and Don Burrows, but she was then excluded because only unmarried women were allowed to study there. Naima’s favourite instruments to write music on are old family pianos.

Naima was Music Director for the Women’s Circus 2010-2013, and for most of 2015, Artist in Residence with collaborative duo Fine Fine Small Mountain in rural SW China. In 2017 they co-directed Orkeztar Lismore and in 2017-18 they published a regular local artist’s profile column in the Terania Times. Their music has been performed by 3 Shades Black, Orkeztra Glasso Bashalde, the Women’s Circus, and The Committee; in places as far flung as Beijing, Auckland and Lismore. 

Naima has spent most of their life shifting uncomfortably between music and ecology: they started playing music 35 years ago, doing grassroots activism and studying rainforests 25 years ago, and writing music 20 years ago. These days she’s trying to do them both.
