Bio
Najibah is a 24 year old Diva in the making, born
and raised in Northeast Washington, DC. The intricate live rhythms
of Go-Go Music- the soul of Gospel Music- and the R&B grooves
of the 80’s and 90’s ignited her love for music. She
lists Michael Jackson, Chaka Kahn, Mint Condition, Stephanie Mills,
Patti Labelle, Yolanda Adams and Shirley Murdock as her greatest
influences.
She was first introduced to music by her grandmother
who enrolled her in classical piano lessons and the junior choir
at the Episcopal Church of Atonement. She later developed an ear
for good music, taking Gospel Chorus as an elective class in junior
high school. Her other childhood hobbies included Ballet, Tap and
Jazz dancing, Modeling and Athletics. But her singing didn’t
come to the forefront until her college years. Straight out of high
school, Najibah embarked on a career in Business. She attended Pace
University in Manhattan, New York, where she completed her Bachelors
of Business Administration in 2003. However, deep down she always
knew there had to be something more fulfilling than the corporate
world she was preparing for.
Extensive soul searching led her to aggressively pursue a singing
career. She always loved to sing as she does today. All she needed
was a little training and perseverance. She Attended vocal training
and sang at Open Mics whenever she could find time away from her
studies. She has also won various talent competitions including
1st Place in the “Amateur Night” show at the world famous
Apollo Theater. The song that won the audience over was “Ease
the Pain” by Lisa Fisher. Her amazing vocal talent was also
recognized by Weekend Vibe on Fox 5, where she was invited to appear
as a featured unknown artist.
Najibah desires to become a complete artist.
She writes songs, arranges melodies and harmonies, and is currently
studying production in her leisure time. She continues to nurture
her passion for music and the arts and is determined to follow her
dream to become one of the greatest vocalists of all time.
