For the Los Angeles-born and raised pop artist, every song is heartfelt from beginning to end, meticulously detailing every ounce of despair and the toxic motives of various ex-boyfriends who’ve only made her stronger. In turn, she’s created a compelling repertoire that’s relatable for anyone who’s faced the messy turbulence, yet divine intervention, of a breakup.

At the age of five, Neriah, stylized as NERIAH, wrote her first song, “The Wishing Well,” after the unexpected divorce of her parents. During that time, her father painted a portrait of Neriah and her sister sitting in front of a wishing well, which inspired her first songwriting effort.

Raised between Brentwood and Malibu, cruising down Pacific Coast Highway most evenings was Neriah’s safe haven, allowing her to sing — with streams of tears and the occasional screams — as she molded those pivotal stories that would become her third and latest EP, “No One Cries Forever”.
