WHAT IT IS: Teenager Nessa Barrett was already an online star before even moving to L.A. from New Jersey to pursue her dreams.

The songstress then teamed up with fellow rising star jxdn on the Travis Barker-produced single “la di die.” Currently Top 25 at Alt radio, the breakthrough track impacted Top 40 on 4/12. Writing from the heart, Nessa fearlessly opens up about her own mental-health struggles, inspiring perseverance through life’s trials and tribulations.
