In 2017, singer, DJ and producer Nalan, as part of the Gaddafi Gals, released the EP the death of papi. The debut album Temple followed in 2019, and the second album Romeo Must Die, in 2022. In 2021, she began her solo career and released her debut album I’m Good. The Crying Tape, which she took on tour in 2023.

Nalan is also part of the SLIC Unit DJ collective alongside Gaddafi Gals and works as a DJ under her alias slimgirl fat. Together with SLIC Unit, she went on a brief tour of Latin America and the United States in early 2024. They also are residents of FoundationFM, London at the Golden Pudel Club in Hamburg.

From 2020 to 2024 she worked as a writer and producer at Sony ATV. In 2021 she signed with the Berlin label Mansions & Millions and since 2022, with the booking agency Powerline.

Nalan follows her own notions of exciting vocal sounds and structures to create a unique blend of pop, RnB, and indie music. This is what defines her as a musician, as all music journalists agree.
