S12 E7: Naël Kaced

I Wanna Jump Like Dee Dee

Naël is an artist who has made me realise that I need to up my game as far as awareness of new music is concerned. He has the most incredible voice that brings in influences from soul, gospel, RnB, hip hop, jazz. He has been on tour with the amazing Jeanne Added. A couple of weeks ago, he released a really beautiful track called Roses and is going to release his debut solo EP called Last Words on the 7th June.

He has also lived with a loss of hearing. Total silence in one ear and noise in more or less distant snatches for the other ear, meant that he learned to lip read at a very young age. Singing has helped him immensely to relax and find some peace.
For me, the human ability to continually adapt to circumstances that we find ourselves in by design or by chance is tremendously inspiring.
I’d strongly argue that adaptability is one of the crucial skills that we all need these days.
Thanks to Naël for this wonderful conversation and for tackling some difficult subjects with intention and respect.
