American musician Nika Washington is one of new age's most distinctive, prolific, and charismatic artists. A master of multiple instruments, Nika constructs her soundscapes from an electronically altered zither, hammered dulcimer, kalimba, synthesizers, piano, and other instruments, as well as natural sounds and vocals. Since first gaining exposure in the early 2000's after a chance meeting with ambient innovator Brian Eno, Nika has released 7 albums, including collaborations with several electronic, experimental, rock, and dub musicians.
