In 2016, she graduated with honours from music college, releasing her first EP “Nubya’s 5ive” the following year. A member of the collective Nérija and the ensemble Maisha, Garcia played numerous festivals, concert halls and sold-out headliner shows. Her lauded debut solo album “Source” was released in 2020 and got shortlisted for the Mercury Prize, following it up with “Odyssey” in 2024. Her own band notably performed at the 2021 BBC Proms.
