In this episode of Turning Points, Patricia Killeen welcomed Nadia Sardjoe, a Dutch/Indonesian/Surinamese singer-songwriter whose artistic journey bridges the Netherlands and France.
Nadia began playing the violin at a young age and performed with several Dutch bands before a defining moment changed the course of her life: falling in love with a French man and moving to Paris in 2012. Her daughter was born there. 
Another change came in 2019, when Nadia started writing her own material and learnt to play the guitar to deliver her songs after being part of several French old-time and bluegrass bands, like Les Cartiers de Paris, a Carter Family Tribute band. Immersed in Paris’s dynamic music scene, Nadia performed in local bars and venues. With a voice that combines warmth and power, she crafts songs rooted in truth, honesty, transformation, and raw emotion. Her sound draws on influences from American folk, country, and blues, woven together with her distinct personal touch.
During her Turning Points interview, Nadia performed three of her original compositions live in the WRP studio:
Valkyrie
Lucilla
There’s a Way Out
She shared the inspiration and stories behind these songs—lyrics that are deeply personal, often spiritual, and emotionally resonant. 
Beyond her musical career and being a single mother, Nadia is an entrepreneur. After her first activity in digital marketing she has her own corporate wellness practice, offering light-touch ASMR massage therapy providing instant nervous system regulation and stress relief at the office - and can be contacted at [email protected] for enquiries.
