Info zu Don't Say I Didn't Warn You

Accidentally introduced to the world of producing as she stumbled upon her aunt and uncle experimenting with Fruity Loops, a young Nija Charles - better known these days simply as Nija - was immersed and subsequently hooked on music. What may have felt like an insignificant instance at the time blossomed into the fruitful and skyrocketing career that she’s already developed for herself at the age of 24. Her sound - her lyricism - certainly doesn’t feel as though it’s rooted in accident or happenchance. Nor does it feel like that from such a young force. Instead, it feels like fate. Instead, it feels like the work of a veteran, and that’s because in many ways - even at 24 - that’s exactly who she is. Further developing her talents at Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at New York University, she took that fate and experience, drudged her roots deeply, and continued to build on top of her foundation. She signed a publishing deal with Universal Music in 2017, songwriting and producing for some of the biggest names in the music industry. Beyonce, Cardi B, SZA, and Ariana Grande are just a few of the many headlining names whose discography she’s graced. BET placed her on their Future 40 list; Rolling Stones placed her on their Future 25. Take one listen and it’s easy to hear that well-deserved is an outlandish understatement. Nija magically blends that gritty and bass heavy hip-hop aesthetic in production with the silky smooth tradition of R&B songwriting and vocalism. Able to showcase the unique talent for the biggest names to do it before her, now it’s her turn.

Don’t Say I Didn’t Warn You. A fitting title to say the least. Not only does it describe her undeniably stacked yet relatively behind the curtain career to this point, but also delineates how it is that everyone in music should have known the kind of impact she was always bound to have once she started going at it on her own. There is an obvious and constantly apparent nod to hip-hop by way of production through each and every track on the album, channeling her established foundation in beat-making and genre-blending her way to a signature sound.

Graciously, she glides over the beats with a chilling effortlessness, spilling true emotion onto each track with her ever so silky register. With one of those vocal palettes blooming with an old-school vibrancy, hers is a sound that evokes memories of Golden Era R&B, while simultaneously immersing them in the hard-hitting soundscape of SoundCloud Era hip-hop. Curated and balanced, Nija navigates the range of her debut collection; defies epoch, blurs lines. (Alberto Aliaga)

Nija Charles

Nija Charles
is an American songwriter/record producer from Union, NJ, based in Los Angeles, CA.

Nija developed her interest for music as a child growing up watching her uncle and aunt experiment on the production software Fruity Loops. This curiosity soon evolved into a passion that filled her everyday.

Following her dream, Nija was accepted into the infamous Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at NYU. Here she took her passion a step further by writing melody and lyric on her own production. While this was originally just a strategy in order to promote her production, her songs immediately received great reception and spread quickly to a few prominent music producers and A&R’s.

Shortly after her first semester of sophomore year, Nija met her soon-to-be manager who introduced her to industry vet and senior A&R for RCA Records, J. Grand. Two weeks later she was flown to Los Angeles to work with some of the most prominent producers/artists in the recording industry.

Almost instantaneously this became a bi-weekly trip in which she would write songs in Los Angeles on the weekends and fly back to New York for her morning classes during the weekdays. After nearly 8 months of being bi-coastal, and showing record-breaking promise as a songwriter, Nija submitted a notice of leave to university and signed to Universal Music Publishing Group.

At only the age of 20, Nija is already a multi-platinum selling, billboard-award winning songwriter and producer who has landed songs with such artists as Chris Brown, Flo Rida, and Jason Derulo.
