Naomi Sharon

Born and raised in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, music has always been in Naomi Sharon’s genes. Surrounded by a family of musicians, singers, and producers, she knew from an early age that she was destined to express herself through the arts. Initially drawn to theater, she honed her performance skills through drama school and standout roles in major productions like Dream Girls and The Lion King. A pivotal moment came after vocal surgery, which pushed her to rediscover her voice and led to the independent release of her debut single, The Moon. Now the first female artist signed to OVO Sound, Naomi released her debut album Obsidian in September 2023. “Obsidian is just me being very vulnerable—and that’s something I’m missing in the industry right now,” she shared. Blending afrobeats, amapiano, soul, and jazz, the album showcases her raw emotionality and poetic storytelling, anchored by her mesmerizing vocals. With the release of her latest EP “The Only Love We Know”, Naomi continues to captivate audiences, earning stellar reviews from outlets like Billboard, Vibe, BET, and more. With a sound that is both intimate and expansive, Naomi Sharon is cementing herself as one of the most distinct and soulful voices of her generation.
