He performed live at several music events in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Cairo and Khartoum. His music appeals to diverse groups of people of all ages.

Born Moawia Ahmed Khalid, Nile, took his stage name from the longest river in the world, which flows across his home country, Sudan. The artist was born in Wad Madani, a city that lies on the west bank of the Blue Nile, nearly 85 miles southeast of the capital Khartoum.

Living in a cosmopolitan country like the UAE with different nationalities and influences helped the young artist find his passion. At an early age Moawia played the keyboard at school and enjoyed performing on stage at various kinds of events. His earliest fans; his teachers, family and friends always praised his performances. In the early 90's Mo'awia was exposed to the Hip Hop music movement. He felt an instant sense of affinity to Hip Hop. The flow seemed so natural to him. Driven by his passion for music young Nile educated himself about different genres after discovering Hip Hop, and began to write his own music.

In junior high school, Mo'awia formed a Hip Hop group called D.O.S with a friend but the group quickly ended when he moved to Sudan. During his years in Sudan, Nile was the lead singer and guitar player in a band whose unique sound was a mixture of soul, jazz and African music. The band toured the country and played in different music festivals and events.

Nile embarked on a solo career with the support of his family and pursued his dreams with a whole-hearted dedication. Along his path to success he studied music and audio engineering at the SAE Institute in Dubai. He continues to write, sing and produce original soulful music for his growing fan base around the world.
