Since the national singing show, he has been focused on launching his solo career and releasing original music that speaks to his heart, mind and soul.
The release of Niyaaz’s first single entitled, ‘Don’t Need It’ could not come at a more perfect time for the soulful singer. Together with his previous boyband – the 3 childhood friends, wrote, composed and produced a pop hit!
“Before I became a solo artist I was part of a boyband.
Two of those members helped me put together this amazing track. It was organic for us to work together as we’ve written songs and performed in the past.
It was very nostalgic for me. “ – Niyaaz
“The track is basically my struggle of whether to be single or to be with this girl. We’re the perfect couple but there’s stuff I have to deal with, and I start overthinking. I then come to the realization that I don’t need to stress about it” – Niyaaz
With its funky baseline, sexy melody and infectious hook, “Don’t Need It” is sure to have pop culture fall in love with the 24 year old Heart-Throb.
