NËSTRÄ

At 27, NËSTRÄ has already become an accomplished singer, composer, artist, and model; performing at Seattle’s Bumbershoot and Capitol Hill Block Party music festivals as well as walking in New York’s Fashion Week for Adidas and the Seattle Sounders. Musically, NËSTRÄ has become a force, drawing influence from traditional soul and funk sounds, to cloudy-atmospheric indie and modern hip-hop, all under a pensive and honest R&B lens, but most importantly NËSTRÄ has become a voice: a voice as loud as pounding 808 drums and psychedelic synths. A voice that is inspiring, almost challenging his city to be themselves and free their heart. In his lyrics and music NËSTRÄ tell us his story, reflecting his life as a first-generation immigrant and his East African roots, as well as his journey through life in a foreign country, experiencing new cultures.
