[Biography]



Nadia Ali was born in Libya to Pakistani parents in 1980. The family relocated to Queens, New York City, when she was still a small child, and has remained there until this day.



Ali has stated in interviews that the music that most influenced her growing up includes Stevie Nicks, Sade, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, U2, Madonna, Led Zeppelin, Carole King, Carly Simon and The Beatles.



While 17 years old, Ali was working in the New York offices of Versace, and aspiring to start a music career, when a co-worker introduced her to producer Markus Moser, who was looking for a female singer to collaborate on some of his original dance music production. The two teamed up and started a group that was originally named "Vaiio," named after the Sony laptop Nadia was working on. They later dropped the "va" to avoid causing problems in the future with Sony. Working with Moser, she wrote the lyrics and the vocals for the songs. After the success of the 2001 hit "Rapture," the single was remixed many times by the likes of Armin Van Buuren, John Creamer & Stephane K and Deep Dish with bootleg and white label remixes emerging as well. The duo toured all over the world for years and released more singles, including "At the End," "Runaway" and "Smooth."



Ali left the group in 2005 to pursue a solo career, however the long-awaited full-length debut album Poetica was not released to wide distribution until 2006, and Moser continues to release iiO material featuring her on vocals. Most notably, these releases include the 2006 single "Is It Love?" which went to #1 in America on the Billboard Dance Chart, and the 2007 Album Reconstruction Time: The Best Of iiO Remixed.'



After leaving iiO, Nadia began releasing singles as a solo artist. The first, "Who is Watching", was a collaboration with DJ/ Producer Armin Van Buuren which appeared on his 2005 album Shivers. "Something to Lose" followed suit in 2006 and was a duet with singer/songwriter Rosko produced by Creamer & K and released by Ultra Records. The duet was championed on the UK's BBC Radio One by influential DJ and tastemaker Pete Tong,[4] and remixes have appeared on releases by Roger Sanchez, as well as by Sharam Tayebi of Deep Dish for his Global Underground debut "Dubai."



Busy touring, Nadia did not release anything until 2008 with "Crash And Burn", which was released on June 17, 2008 to iTunes. The song was produced by Fritzy, and the EP included remixes by Dean Coleman, DJ Shah, Sultan & Ned Shepard, Astro & Glyde, Justin Thomas, Kered & Kiraly and Dilamani & Rassek. "Crash and Burn", has become a club smash, reaching the top 10 on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play Chart.



Nadia's MySpace page features the album version of "Is It Love?" from iiO's debut album; "Something To Lose", "Give It Up" & "Kiss You" remixed by Lance Jordan, which were first recorded with iiO; the album version of "Who Is Watching"; and "The One" remixed by Fritzy. On her official website, she also samples "At The End", mixed by Lance Jordan.



On February 10, 2009, Nadia released her follow-up single to Crash and Burn, called "Love Story" exclusively on BeatPort. It was subsequently released on iTunes the following month. Produced by Sultan and Ned Shepard, the single includes a number of remixes, by Andy Moor, Sultan and Ned Shepard and The Starkillers. Nadia has also released her first music video since iiO's At The End in 2002, and has been a hit on YouTube. The video, directed by Phil Di Fiore, features Nadia in a number of outfits and rooms, with backup dancers behind her. The single proved to be a club success, reaching number one on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play Chart in April 2009.



On March 23, BeatPort released "Love Story (Part 2)" exclusively. This set features remixes from Fritzy & Stylz, the Scumfrog, Dresden & Johnston and Victor Franco. The EP also became available on iTunes, but is titled as "Love Story (Les Remixes Noirs).



Nadia was featured on MTV Iggy in March, where she recorded 3 live acoustic videos performing "Rapture", "Crash and Burn" and "Love Story".
