With a sound that is both modern, yet steeped in tradition, NIYAZ (which means “yearning”), aims to bridge the gap of understanding and tolerance through their music. Led by charismatic front woman AZAM ALI, whose Turkish-Iranian heritage and Indian upbringing have created a singer of bewitching and richly textured proportions, NIYAZ create uplifting, transformative music, making a bold statement as they tear down cultural boundaries and offer listeners a bridge between the East and the West – a sanctuary in our modern world of polarized ideologies.

  • HOLLA & HEAL: A live concert event featuring Magnetic North & Taiyo Na (MNTN) and special guests Ann One, Sham-e-Ali Nayeem, and Treya Lam with proceeds to benefit the community organization CAAAV: Organizing Asian Communities. This collective brings live musicianship to the genres of soul, folk, jazz and hip hop from a distinct and politicized Asian American perspective. The event aspires to be a safe gathering for communal healing, especially in context of the pandemic and spikes in anti-Asian violence. Magnetic North & Taiyo Na consists of Theresa "T-Vu" Vu, Derek Kan, Taiyo Na, and Chucky Kim. They created Home:Word, an album of chart-topping hits in Japan and Korea that Phil Yu of AngryAsianMan called “one of my favorite albums of the year," and writer/historian Jeff Chang described as “an album my family plays when we get together.” In 2021, they released “We Belong ‘21” in response to increased nationwide anti-Asian violence. A dedication to the late photographer Corky Lee, the music video was directed by An Rong Xu with ZZ Design.
