Daniela Niederer, (better known by her stage name Nora En Pure) is a South African-Swiss DJ and deep house producer.[4] She is best known for her 2013 single "Come With Me" which charted in Belgium at number 41. In July 2016, she was invited to put together a two-hour long mix for Pete Tong's radio show: "BBC's Essential Mix".[5]
Early life
Born to a South African mother and a Swiss father in Johannesburg, Niederer migrated to Switzerland during her infancy.[6] Raised in a musical environment, she learned to play musical instruments at childhood.
Before engaging in the electronic music scene, she used to listen to other musical genres including classical music, pop and rock.[7]
Background
She first found creative inspiration, weaving her influences of South African roots in combining a tropical setting accompanied by tribal percussion sounds and a melody composed by classical instrumentation, either by wind instruments and piano chords and harmonious synthesizers.
In an interview when asked on how she got into the EDM scene, she said "I got in touch with electronic music when I met some friends who had their own studios - that was around 2008. Given that I’ve always been passionate about music, playing instruments and singing myself, I was fascinated by how creative you can be with electronic music. Working on things on your own, whenever you want; being in a studio creating music felt comfortable. There is no direct judgement, and you can try out whatever you want. Of course, that changes when you gain some following, but the first couple of years, there was nobody interested in my music!"[8]
Career
She gained a name on the international stage driven by the success of "Come With Me", which remained in the Top 100 of Beatport's download list for more than seven months.[9] The single "Saltwater" which contains elements of "True" by Spandau Ballet, was included in the 2012 compilation by Buddha Bar.[10]
Prior to remixing songs such as "Khaweri" by Daniel Portman, and for artists such as Wretch 32, Klingande, Oliver Heldens, Paul Harris and his side project Dirty Vegas, she gained international recognition. She is also part of the musical group, Helvetic Nerds, with EDX and Chris Reece.[11]
In 2017, she released an extended play titled "Conquer Yosemite".[12]
Personal life
From 2009 to 2014, she maintained a relationship with Swiss model, Luca Ruch.[13] In 2014, she completed her studies in psychology at the University of Konstanz.[14]
