Available to hire
I’m Nami Dae, a Los Angeles-based vocalist, vocal arranger, songwriter, and actress. I create lush studio vocals, write songs, and arrange harmonies for ensemble and solo projects. My work has connected with Grammy-nominated releases and live stages, from intimate clubs to national broadcasts.
I love collaborating across genres—R&B, hip hop, classical, and alt-rock—to craft vocal stories that move audiences. When I’m not on stage or in the studio, I mentor young performers and contribute to community events and charitable campaigns.
