Nia J is back with her signature pop sound in the new single, “Wishing You the Best.” Produced by Grayson Fernandez with Ike Byers and Te’Jani Inuwa, four-on-the-floor pop anthem conjures all of the energy of the 80s pop divas as she shrugs off a lover who took her for granted. The music video, directed by Charlotte-based filmmaker Rudy Kovaskitz, embodies the edgy playfulness of this new single, featuring Nia as she literally works out her way towards independence and freedom. 

In both her first EP Rabbit Hole (2021) to her debut album Melomania (2024), Nia J showcases deft vocal performances of simple lyrics that are at once deeply personal and universally relatable. Collaborating with staples of the Charlotte scene like Byers (BEKI), Inuwa, and Tré Ahmad, Nia has quickly established herself as a key voice in the Charlotte pop scene, receiving the honor of Album of the Year in the Queen City Nerve’s 2024 Best in the Nest issue and performing in festivals like Raleighwood (2025).
