Biography

Sodomita is the artistic name of Nia Naya, a Brazilian travesty artist who emerged from the ballroom and hip-hop scenes, using her art as a form of resistance and expression.

Her musical journey was driven by the ballroom environment in São Paulo, where she found a safe space to explore her voice and connect music with the poetry she was already writing. The 2020 pandemic was a crucial period, leading her to record and release her work online, including the song "Cadela de Raça" (renamed to "Kdela de Ha"). Despite facing insecurities, the loss of her brother to Covid-19 drove her to transform grief into creative strength, expanding her reach through live streams and event appearances.

Sodomita's career gained prominence with her participation in the project "Poetisas no Topo 3", by Pineapple Storm Records, where she was the only travesty artist, bringing representation to national rap. Her art addresses current themes in an unusual style, mixing archaic and contemporary language to discuss social issues, such as the secularity of the state and the remnants of slavery. Sodomita is also known for her performances at events like Rock in Rio, even before releasing her first single, demonstrating the strength and impact of her artistic presence.
