Empress Naima’s strictly vinyl selections are solid and bass-heavy, yet sweet and conscious.

Empress started on Kfm radio back in 2004, and has been involved with several local radio stations since. She has played at festivals such as Prana, Sundaise and Splore as well as many sound system dances and community events.

Empress is passionate about supporting artists and is an advocate for diversity and inclusion in the music scene.

You can catch her every second Wednesday on Base FM’s Peace & Dub show and on the Jafa Mafia Sound System.

Empress says 'Big up the NiceUp crew for keeping Aotearoa Reggae whanau untied and massive thanks for the invitation. I have selected a mix of some of my fave artists that I have enjoyed sharing and promoting in the last few years. Blessings!'
