Nayrok is in a word, explosive. The beautiful Dallas native has anointed the music world with a new genre of music. She calls it HoodRok.

She has opened up for many platinum artists such as Musiq Soulchild, Nikka Costa, Common, Erykah Badu as well as Prince. You name it, Nayrok's done it!

Nayrok is the flipside of her Platinum, Grammy-Award winning older sibling. Although the resemblance is unmistakable; their music styles are far from related. Nayrok’s initial influence in music was planted by her mothers Saturday morning play list of Minnie Ripperton, Denise Williams and Stevie Wonder to name a few. Nayrok’s love of hip-hop and performing flourished when she and her sister formed a rap group called, Susta MCs. They performed all over the Metroplex and were the hottest sister group in Dallas. It was from this element of showmanship that the Nayrok era evolved.
Equipped with a solid national buzz, Nayrok’s stage show is a force of free energy personified. On stage she is uncharacteristically the total opposite of her otherwise demure person. She performs with a four-piece band that through her guidance is thought by many to be one of the best bands in Dallas. She sings from a music perspective inspired by years of love-hate relationships, triumphs and shortcomings. A car accident in 1999 caused by a drunken driver in Houston left Nayrok with two severely broken legs and two years of rehabilitation. This life-altering event briefly snatched some physical capabilities but strengthened her mentally and musically. It forged a natural element of music uncharted in the industry. The accident also birthed her personal motto. Nayrok ends every show with the cherished phrase to, “Love Hard, Live Hard, and Rok Harder!“ After hearing this genius femme-beacon of Rock Hip Hop and Funk fusion, forgetting Nayrok will be the hardest.
Nayrok is arguably the most sought after female artist in Texas. Her highly anticipated album debut, Nayrokula has industry insiders and fans salivating. Highly touted and sought after since 2000, Nayrok attributes part of her reluctance to sign with a major label to "the fulfilled love of live performance, without the conformity to label and industry politics.†True to her passion as the hot sun in the city she calls home, she admits that last year was her year to "do it". However, she self-prescribed herself a period of "self atonement" and had to shed a few people in her camp for a plethora of reasons.
Her underground smash REDEMPTION, although unlike any of her past recordings, was a personal song indicative of that period of her life. Recently wrapping up a European tour with sister Erykah Badu, she is even busier now recording new music for her album debut, NAROKULA. Slated for a 3rd quarter 2007 release, she is yet to decide if her masterpiece will be released independently, or on a major label. In the meantime all we can do is patiently wait for the ever so talented yet humble queen to reign.
