Niara Sterling is a New York City DJ and producer originally from Springfield, Virginia. Her sets weave house and soul through massive basslines, melodic flourishes, and rhythms drawn from R&B, jazz, funk, gospel, hip-hop, and diaspora sounds.

Live sets are rhythmic, lush, and built to move crowds from local clubs to international festivals.
