“When you move away from home, you awaken to the vastness and wildness of the world – its beauty and danger and its magic… I know now that I might never really understand home – after all, I come from a long line of travelling, migrating people who have given themselves new names, and conjured up colourful, improbable lives out of the aether.” Nishla Smith Storytelling lies at the very heart of Nishla Smith’s music making, and since the release ...
