In 2002, Nadirah won the Irie FM / CME Big Break competition which led to a performance at Island Village where she met Brian Jobson and Dave Stewart from the Eurythmics.

Featured on the tours were Joanne Shaw Taylor, Candy Dulfer and Jimmy Cliff, with whom Nadirah wrote and recorded "Positive Mind" for his album Fantastic Plastic People.

Nadirah and Dave wrote and performed "Go Green (Greenpeace Anthem)" featuring recording artists such as Annie Lennox, Sarah McLachlan, Natalie Imbruglia, Imogen Heap and Bonnie Raitt.

In May of that year, Nadirah travelled to Beijing, China to perform on the final night of the four-day Midi Rock Music Festival.

Later that year, Nadirah was asked to perform for Haakon, Crown Prince of Norway, Professor Pekka Himanen, John Hope Bryant and Bishop Desmond Tutu at the Global Dignity Concert in Finland.

The album received positive reviews in The Huffington Post[1] and LA Weekly,[2] which praised his production style and their lyrical ability.

One of her older brothers, Melvin Jr., was a DJ in the early 1990s and introduced her to the music of artists such as Queen Latifah, Will Smith and A Tribe Called Quest.
