Early life

Career

Nej' began her musical career in 2016, releasing her early works independently.[citation needed] She gradually built an online following, gaining wider public attention with the success of Paro in 2021.[citation needed] She continued to release a series of successful EPs and full-length albums, with her 2023 album Athéna solidifying her presence in the French urban music landscape and expanding her reach to broader audiences both in France and internationally.[citation needed]

In 2023, Nej' launched the Athéna Tour, her first nationwide headlining concert series across major French cities.[3]
