WHAT IT IS: Teenager Nessa Barrett was already an online star before even moving to L.A. from New Jersey to pursue her dreams. After inking to Warner in July 2020, the 18-year-old singer/songwriter introduced her intriguing brand of alt-pop with her debut single, “Pain,” which quickly garnered 20m+ streams. 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.
