Nastaij

Check out the brand new film clip for 'Where I want to be' at http://vimeo.com/73456649 ***EP AVAILABLE NOW*** TO www.nastaij.com TO GET IT!!!!!!! There aren't too many female emcees around, let alone ones that standout like Nastaij (pronounced Na-stay-sh). Her lyrics are fresh and positive, and her delivery turns heads where ever she performs and she has shared the stage with Ozi Batla, Remi, Dawn Laird, Coda Conduct and Sydney's Sky High. Nastaij has recently teamed up with some of the finest musicians the Northern Rivers has to offer, and the band is already wowing audiences. It currently features Phil Reed (Bass) Chrissy Langham (Drums) Matthew Murray (Guitar) Gene Paterson (Keys) Ami Apple Tea and Kirstin Thelwall (Vocals). Not only a lyricist, Nastaij spends countless hours in the studio making beats and layering sounds to bring you a completely original flavor that has been inspired by years of touring nationally as a drummer in bands such as folk/indie pop band The Lucky Wonders (Byron), rock band The Argonauts (Northern Rivers) and indie band Hello Satellites (Melbourne). Its this diversity that has allowed Nastaij to explore many different avenues of sound and genres, and push the boundaries of conventional hip hop. Nastaij completed her bachelor of contemporary music in 2013, majoring in audio engineering. This has furthered her hunger to record and collaborate, adding to her growing list of achievements. Also notable, Nastaij was runner up in the Hip Hop division of the 2011 Lismore young songwriters awards with her track "Hop Skip Jump" that was also nominated for song of the year. The track also spent numerous weeks topping the Triple J unearthed Hip Hop charts. Look out for her collaborations with artists such as Lee Emcee (Brisbane) on his up coming mixtape "Heads up pen down" and with Aneurythm (Northern Rivers). With her poppy yet vicious vocals, Nastaij is one not to miss
