Nordia Mothersille Bio
“Singer/songwriter Nordia Mothersille hails from Islington St Mary. At age ten, she began penning songs heavily influenced by Tracy Chapman, Luther Ingram, and Etta James – the soundtrack of her home life with her grandparents. Throughout her days at Marymount High School, she wrote and performed songs for her friends and sang in church regularly. In 2017, the teen recorded her first single, “Ice Cream and Chocolate Bars,” for budding producer Reef Records. In August 2019, Nordia’s talent caught the attention of Jamaica’s ace producer Ainsley ‘Notnice’ Morris after she entered an IG competition. Although she didn’t win, NotNice was impressed with her writing skills and smoky vocals and selected her for his Kyng Midas Album. She officially signed with Notnice Records in 2019. Her single “Sorry” from the album generated great public feedback and continues to do so. Her second single, “We Rise,” showcases her versatility and features a stellar lineup of new-generation dancehall artists. In January 2020, “We Rise” was released with a music video, generating online traction and regular radio spins. Nordia then collaborated with Etana, Richie Spice, Tessanne Chin, and more on the 15-artist project “We Are.” She continues to hone her songwriting skills, penning hits like Richie Stephens’ “Distance” and co-writing with Jah Vinci. Nordia writes stories, poetry, and songs, hoping to represent emotions and motivate listeners. Following “We Are,” she released “When I’m Alone,” “All is Fair,” “Pity Party,” and “Hide and Seek,” her first reggae single. She won a Grammy for her role in Julian Marley’s “Color of Royal” album and released her successful debut EP “Broken Child,” which reached #2 on the iTunes Top 100 Reggae Chart. With momentum building, Nordia is optimistic about her future, aiming for a breakthrough in 2025. Her latest single, ‘Greatness,’ is generating significant buzz and has even been shared on social media by sprinting legend Usain Bolt. ‘Greatness’ is now available on all digital platforms”
