Naïka

Naïka's multilingual fusion of R&B, Haitian konpa, and Afro-Caribbean pop has helped her build a global fan base in the front half of the 2020s. The Los Angeles-based artist found early success with her 2016 take on the traditional Haitian song "Papa Gèdè (Bel Gason)," then landed her first hit a year later with the more pop-oriented "Ride." Since then, Naïka's popularity has gradually increased through a succession of breakout songs including 2021's "Sauce" and 2025's "Layers." She released her debut full-length, ECLESIA, in early 2026.
