Nia K. Lewis (rhyming under the name Lady dUCH) is a Washington DC area singer/pianist/lyricist/poet/activist. In freestyle tradition, she learned to play piano by ear-- and carries that improvisational energy into her work. When asked about influences, Nia invariably spouts a list of consistently creative harmonic songwriters (think Janis Joplin, Stevie Wonder, Laura Nyro, Donny Hathaway, OutKast) and soulful provokers of thought (the incomparable Phyllis Hyman, Talib Kweli, Olu Dara, Ursula Rucker, KRS-One).
Not one to shy away from the light, you can find Nia on membership listings from the Washington Performing Arts Society to the Human Rights Campaign. She is a self-described "hip-hop-infused eclectic", and every deeply-held belief makes itself felt in her words and sounds.
