Niloo
Niloo Farahzadeh (she//her) is a singer-songwriter, musician and illustrator based in Lekwungen Territory (Victoria, B.C.).
Her multidisciplinary work explores ancestry, migration, and diasporic identity. Her musical project Niloo pays homage to her ancestry and personal history as a Iranian-Canadian woman; sonically hybridizing western dreampop, psych and shoegaze with 60's and 70's Iranian pop to create a fuzzy, nostalgic fabric of sound.
"One of the most remarkable things about Niloo's artistry is how she's able to hold multiple truths at once. She pays tribute to her Iranian heritage while mining a sound all her own. Her genre-defiant sensibilities never feel contrived, but instead, they have a natural fluidity that only comes from lived experience and self-interrogation." - Zillions Magazine
