Some musicians can do that. Make time stand still. Often without intention. They sing songs straight from the soul. They hit others right in the heart. Naima Joris is such a singer. Pure.
Naima Joris has had an eventful life. She’s no novice – certainly not on a human level – instead, strangely enough,
she is a musician/composer. She never had the ambition to stand on a stage and only learned the basics of guitar and piano at age 27. It was enough to comfort herself at home by playing and singing cover songs that appealed to her heart.
While everyone’s career was on hold, Naima broke through when she was 39. This gave her the opportunity to pay tribute together with her brother, Yassinto, to their deceased sister in the form of her first EP. (“Naima Joris” 2021) After the ode came a tribute album of songs by Daniel Johnston, in whose working method and world of feelings she finds common ground. (“Tribute to Daniel Johnston” 2022)

Her debut album While The Moon exudes a warm atmosphere, comforting the soul of every listener who feels challenged. There’s also “Hopeful Again” and “Suddenly”, a post-mortem collaboration with her late sister, who wrote the lyrics.
