From the heart of Los Angeles emerges a voice that echoes like ancestral memory—raw, soul-rich, and unmistakably original. Meet NURD, the genre-bending songstress whose sound could be described as “soul-snatching with depth,” a self-made blend that touches every emotion from heartbreak to healing.
Drawing from a well of deep musical influences like Nina Simone, Erykah Badu, Mary Mary, and D’Angelo, NURD’s music channels classic soul with a futuristic energy. Her pen bleeds truth—she writes something every single day, living life and returning to the page to transform experience into melody. Her latest EP, GODSPEED, is a powerful testament to vulnerability. “It’s about breaking yourself open,” she shares, “and letting yourself deal with the pieces.” It’s raw. It’s honest. And it’s her most daring work yet.
NURD isn’t afraid to walk through the fire in her music—tackling themes of self-love, heartbreak, confidence, understanding, and self-destruction. She’s lived every lyric. From her breakout feature on Kamm Carson’s Prepare for the Worst, to her first major performance at Dallas’s Front Row Live, and a defining festival moment at AugusteFest, her trajectory is only gaining speed.
Despite her rising profile, NURD remains grounded in her faith and family. Her authenticity is magnetic—fans feel like kin. “I use social media to make them feel included, like they’re part of the journey,” she says. And in a world that often pressures artists to conform, NURD’s power lies in staying true to herself and keeping God at the center.
With a long-term vision that includes winning a Grammy, launching her own label, and scoring a major brand deal, NURD is not here to simply make noise—she’s here to shift culture. “I want people to know: keep going. It’s a journey, and it’s beautiful.”
