Nilüfer Yanya

‍

From the very first lyric, Nilüfer Yanya’s third album dives into thought-provoking questions that linger long after the music stops. Growing up in a creative London family, Nilüfer has always channeled her emotions and questions about life into music. Her debut album Miss Universe and the follow-up Painless solidified her as a compelling UK songwriter, praised by critics worldwide. As the founder of Artists In Transit, she supports displaced communities with creative workshops.

Nilüfer's latest record emerged in 2023 during a transitional phase between record labels. Collaborating closely with Will Archer, they created an album in an isolated, focused environment, resulting in an intimate and cinematic sound. Her problem-solving songwriting process dives into her evolving self-perception and broader existential questions. Tracks like "Like I Say (I Runaway)" and "Binding" explore time's preciousness and the desire to escape, while "Ready For Sun" and "Wingspan" reflect on change and growth. Watch Nilüfer Yanya's performance on Tuesday, October 15th at The Perplexiplex® for another Meow Wolf Denver concert with introspective and captivating music.

Her debut LP, Carrier Pigeon, showcases her evolution as an artist, influenced by her self-taught guitar skills and inspiration from artists like Connie Converse.
