What’s your name and where are you from?
My name is NaQuiyah “N’Qya”(na-kee-yah) Hodges and I was born and raised in Fort Worth, TX which is the sister city to Dallas, TX.
What makes you different as a person and as a company?
Unlike many singers, my parents and family had no idea I could sing until I was in the 8th grade. I knew I could sing when I was like 4 years old…I just kept it a secret from my parents and family, with the exception of one cousin, until I entered a middle school talent show. I would sing a little at school around friends, but not at home; I would actually sound terrible on purpose around family. Needless to say, my mom and grandmother were shocked when they heard me sing. I broke out of my shell from that point and the rest is history. I started writing songs, sang in varsity choir in high school, joined a cover band in college and haven’t looked back since.
What do you want to accomplish in life?
I strongly believe my purpose in life is to be relatable and personable and help people as much as I can. God has given me many talents with one of them being singing and songwriting. My dream is to reach people through song, through teaching, and through being myself…all while making a living doing so!
