“So, I love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you.”

—Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

There’s no easy comparison for Neena Roe — her voice, her story and sound claim a world of their own.

Drawing from Middle Eastern roots, a Detroit upbringing, and the layered perspective of a life shaped by diaspora, Neena crafts music that is emotionally raw and sonically expansive. A daughter of Iranian refugees and fluent in Spanish after time spent living in Latin America, she writes and produces trilingual compositions that reflect a truly cross-cultural identity.

Though taught that music could only be a hobby, Neena maintained that her voice was her God-given power, performing Britney and Celine for the elderly at age 5, in the nursing home where her mother worked, and now captivating hundreds of thousands with her honest lyricism and cinematic sound. Her debut EP, ‘how to be alone,’ explores the ache of distance—from homeland, from community, from self—through lush melodies and rugged instrumentation.

Her upcoming single “ROSAS” blends Latin, Persian, and R&B influences in a trilingual release that’s as rare as it is resonant. The teaser has already drawn over half a million views on Instagram alone, signaling powerful organic momentum.

Featured on Apple Music’s Beats1 radio, the cover of ‘The Persian Magazine,’ and in both Spotify and Tidal editorial playlists, Neena is building a loyal audience across and beyond the diaspora—proving that courageous, cross-cultural storytelling is the true universal language.
