Nashon Holloway

With a name meaning “oracle,” Nashon Holloway was born to sing healing. NPR refers to the Kalamazoo-born, Chicago-bred singer’s sound as “crisp and colorful” and her soulful jazz-tinged guitar-playing is as harmonious as it can be edgy and surreal.

Nashon has been seen on The Oprah Winfrey Show with David Foster, with Tank and the Bangas, Kelly Rowland, Drake, Bobby McFerrin, Uniting Voices Chicago (formerly Chicago Children's Choir), Jennifer Hudson, Live with Hans Zimmer (composer for such films as The Lion King, The Dark Knight, and Inception), with Chicago Symphony Orchestra, LiV Warfield of Prince's New Power Generation, opera aficionado Paulo Szot, composer Nobuo Uematsu, and most recently she toured as a featured vocalist with American Idol! Winner Ruben Studdard and Clay Aiken.

She tours internationally, often performing original compositions, and occasionally covering the music of legends like Stevie Wonder, Roberta Flack, and her faves Emily King and Lianne La Havas.
