Bio
Nilüfer Yanya is a singer-songwriter from London whose third studio album My Method Actor was released in September 2024 to overwhelming praise from The New York Times, The Guardian, The Wall Street Journal, Associated Press, Pitchfork (with a ‘Best New Music’ stamp) The FADERand so many more.
As a whole, Nilüfer Yanya’s third album asks questions with no easy answers. It is a supple, expansive body of work that peers into the crevices of life, exploring them with comforting strings, skittering beats, soul-tinged melodies and swooning harmonies. It asks, who are we? Why do we follow the paths we follow? What is at the heart of it all?
My Method Actor follows Nilüfer’s previous albums PAINLESS and Miss Universe, which were also met with high praise, ranking among the year’s best by The New York Times, NPR, Pitchfork, Vulture and more. Nilüfer performed celebrated singles on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Late Night with Stephen Colbert, Later with Jools Holland and NPR’s legendary Tiny Desk concert series. She’s supported Adele, the XX and Mitski on tour, headlined London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire and sold out shows across Europe, Australia, Japan and the USA. Yanya has also been remixed by Sampha, King Krule and Little Dragon and has collaborated with Bombay Bicycle Club and Liss.
Nilüfer is also a founding member of the community project Artists In Transit which takes creative workshops and other support to displaced communities and people in times of hardship.
