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

—Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

Born to Iranian refugee-immigrant parents on Detroit's east side, Neena Roe was constantly reminded that music is a hobby, never a career. Yet, even as a child singing Britney Spears and Celine Dion covers for the elderly in the nursing home where her mother worked, she knew her voice was her superpower. Now, captivating thousands through her honest lyricism, Neena is driven by a desire to heal hearts and connect spirits, challenging the limits placed on children of immigrants pursuing art as a career and drawing on the cross-cultural influences in her life.

Whether writing, producing, or both, the trilingual songstress creates heartfelt compositions that melt shoulder knots. In her debut EP, how to be alone, Neena distills the relatable heartache of the transient twenties, the ache of distance from her ancestral homeland, and the introspective journey of the self into lush, evocative melodies woven with rugged instrumentation. Her latest single "heaven & hell" conjures the magic of fireflies around a campfire, transitioning into the nostalgic bliss of "concrete floors." How to be alone captures Roe’s soul-barring vocals, hovering like smoke over gentle poppy pulses for an experience both enchanting and cathartic.

Neena has graced the cover of The Persian Magazine, premiered on Apple Music’s Beats1 Radio, and received placements on Spotify’s All New Indie and Tidal’s Pop Rising playlist. With nearly 50,000 followers across socials, her fans are not only invested in Neena’s music, but in her journey as an Iranian-American artist determined to break barriers and surpass her wildest dreams.
