NADJIA was formed in 1996 by Mark Williams while studying at grad school in LA. Adding to NADJIA's unique and experimental music using computers, synthesizers, and the occasional sampling from various appliances such as toasters, steamroller or washing machine, Mark was soon joined by a violinist which gave the band another dimensional twist.

NADJIA's first album release was 'As It As' in 1997, followed by 'Crash Wreck Deconstruct' in 1998. In 2002, NADJIA took a new direction with the album 'Damage Control Red'. This release included a diverse and mature sound that appeared to slowly move away from the experimental noise of previous albums. Memorable songs included the darker, grittier elements of surf rock in "Rzrgrrl", Love & Rockets inspired guitar rock sound in "Slow Motion Afternoon" and finally, the thoughtfully slow track entitled "Just a Minute More". Guitarist, Jeff Smith, had collaborated with Mark on the 'Damage Control Red' album and eventually became a driving force to the new NADJIA sound.

After several years of musical hiatus, Mark Williams designed and constructed ALAB Studio, and in 2009, produced his most haunting and cohesive NADJIA album entitled 'Enter Trey Cole'. Pensive and promising, the track entitled "The Ghost in the Amphora", poignantly conveys this album's quiet strength. The following year, NADJIA's personnel included Jeff Smith on guitar as well as a keyboardist, a bassist and a drummer. The band evolved and so did the music. In full swing, NADJIA released 'Angels of Rust' in 2010 exploding with power rock songs such as "Until the End of the World' and "Something About Planes".

As NADJIA continues to re-invent itself, Mark Williams has described his work as "art in motion". Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
