NERVE

Rapper, producer, singer, emcee, engineer: Brisbane star Nerve wears many hats, and has mastered many sounds. His multi-pronged approach to hip-hop has made him one of the most versatile and talented artists in the space, widely expanding his sonic portfolio with each release. He’s appeared on UK tastemaker channels like JDZmedia, hopped on an official remix of Aitch’s #1 single, ‘Taste’, and gone back-to-back live with grime veterans like Flowdan. He’s played Australia’s biggest festivals including Splendour In The Grass, Listen Out & Falls Festival. His ‘Walk & Talk’ series has become a viral display of his rapid-fire wordplay, while tracks like ‘Where You Been’ with ChillinIt and the ‘Nightshift’ EP with Wombat have become underground classics. In recent years, his hit singles like ‘Wasted’, ‘Sunday Roast’ and ‘DFRNT’ have diversified his sound and crossed over into mainstream territory, earning high rotation on triple j, FBi Radio and RAGE. He’s even penned a verse for the official anthem for the A-Leagues (‘Real Nice’ with Tkay Maidza and Young Franco) that got played every time a goal was scored. When he’s not rapping and singing, Nerve is producing beats for Australia’s hottest prospects like Barkaa, JK-47 and Shadow; mixing platinum albums including ChillinIt’s Women, Weed & Wordplay; or DJing club sets that dance between Afrobeats, Techno and Rap.
