Naïka is creating a world entirely her own — and inviting us into it. On her debut album Eclesia, the Franco-Haitian singer-songwriter fuses cultures, languages and genres to shape a boundaryless “world pop” record rooted in identity, connection and community. “I didn’t want to just release music,” she says to us for her Schön! 50digital cover story. “I really wanted to create a world, because I never felt like I belonged anywhere.”
It’s a sentiment that resonates deeply with many third culture kids. Born in Miami and raised across Kenya, South Africa, France, the Caribbean and even the South Pacific, she recalls “feeling very rootless… never enough of anything to fully belong”, though she has since come to realise that “home is other people, rather than a specific place.” Describing the album as “eclectic, human, vulnerable and warm”, Naïka has already seen its sense of togetherness reflected in her live audiences. “I see so much diversity in the crowd: people of all ages, ethnicities, races and religions coming together, and, to me, that’s so beautiful. That’s where my heart is.”
Sasha Keable has all the makings of a classic powerhouse. Raw heartfelt lyrics, a captivating stage presence and immense vocals that seem to belt from the base of her soul. The British-Colombian singer has agrowing cult following with the likes of Beyoncé calling Keable one of her favourites. The best way to experience Keable’s show stopping vocals is seeing her live. In an exclusive documentary, Schön! captured the South London star in Berlin where she gave the crowd a show to remember with her rich tone and soulful delivery. Keable leaves it all on the stage and pulls back the curtain on the mind behind the music, telling Schön! that she’s not seeking perfection in her art, but authenticity.
What was on the playlist in your household growing up?
Honestly, everything. My mum would play music from genres like vallenatos & cumbia. Plus, a lot of rock and metal from my dad. I can’t even remember which bands but it was always a vibe.
What got you into singing initially?
My dad would print off tabs to play on guitar and I started to sing with him. After that music opened up. We would play and sing together after work and school.
What’s your favourite thing about your community as a South London Colombiana?
The two worlds together. I’d spent a lot of my early years in Elephant & Castle where there’s a big Latin community. That mixed with the South London life — where I’ve lived ever since — it’s shaped so much about me.
Will we be getting any songs in Spanish?
Yeah, it’s coming at some point. It has to feel right though and happen at the right moment. I’ve had some music to make before then. After that I can give time to writing in Spanish but it’s something I think about a lot.
What are your thoughts on the parasocial relationship your fans have with you?
I get why it happens, especially because people are curious or interested in a person. The vast majority of people are great and get it. It’s just the way the internet is, we’re so used to knowing everything about everyone.
Do you write from experience or fantasy?
Definitely experience but sometimes they blur. Like on “WHY,” that was me imagining a dream situation, manifesting it. When I exaggerate or twist things, it will always have started from something real. I can’t fake emotion.
Your live shows feel like a comedy set sometimes, how do you prepare?
I don’t rehearse the talking, if you couldn’t guess, that’s just me. I want it to feel like we’re all in the same room and are sharing something, not like I’m performing at people. The prep is more about stamina and making sure the vocals are the best they can be so I can actually enjoy it.
Do you have any thoughts on how R&B is received in the UK vs the US?
The US has a deeper legacy with it but the UK brings its own flavour. I think the new UK R&B wave is still carving out how it wants to be defined which is exciting, so ask me again in a few years.
Can you share some of the influences on your personal style?
It changes all the time. Generally, it’s pretty romantic with a touch of sexiness. I’ve got staples and silhouettes I like but I like to play around with textures and colours.
What does this current era of music say about you?
That I’m being more honest, less polished, more direct. I’m not trying to be perfect, I’m trying to be understood.
Will we ever see a Beyoncé collab now that she’s a fan?
Listen… that’s Beyoncé. You can’t speak on things like that. If she calls, she calls, but I’m just so grateful she’s listened to me and thrilled she knows I exist.
What can fans expect for the rest of the year?
More music, more shows, more everything. Catch you at the festivals.

In Crimson Ritual, beauty becomes an act of expression — vivid, deliberate, and charged with atmosphere. As part of Schön! 50, through the lens of Mina Moshi, rich crimson tones and high-shine textures collide with moments of softness and restraint, creating imagery that feels at once timeless and fiercely contemporary. Make up by Jovana Markovic explores contrast and intensity with striking precision, complemented by hair styling from Vanja and featuring Srna Vuckovic, who channels the same messages woven throughout Schön! 50: evolution, transformation, and allure.
