Naeki
Meet Naeki, your favourite anime enthusiast, artist extraordinaire, musical virtuoso, prolific writer, and, oh yes, just a kid at heart. Nestled in the vibrant artist hub of Ithaca, NY, Naeki's creative journey began over four years ago when a beat-making friend introduced them to the world of music through a Maschine Mikro 2.
From those early days of experimentation, Naeki's passion for music ignited, leading them to dive headfirst into classes to master beat-making with Maschine Software and Ableton Live. With dedication and persistence, they honed their skills in beat-making and mixing, gradually gaining the confidence to craft their own musical creations.
Inspired by the ineffable power of music to express the inexpressible, Naeki embraces a diverse range of genres, from Pop to R'n'B, Trap to EDM, and even a self-coined experimental fusion called T-RnB (Trap + R'n'B). Their eclectic taste in music, nurtured by influences like Michael Jackson, Kanye West, The Weeknd, and more, infuses a rich tapestry of sounds into their own productions.
Naeki's artistic ethos knows no bounds. They refuse to confine themselves to any one style or method, drawing inspiration from every corner of the creative universe. With a nod to their musical idols like Michael Jackson and Kanye West, Naeki channels their intense work ethic and emotional depth into every aspect of their craft.
As they gear up for the release of their next LP on March 17th, Naeki reflects on the humble yet meaningful milestones of their career, including the honour of recognition from a local restaurant. But for Naeki, the true joy lies in the alchemy of creation itself—transforming raw materials into something extraordinary, be it a melody, a lyric, or a vibe.
With a penchant for light-heartedness and a dash of childish wonder, Naeki brings a refreshing perspective to even the heaviest of moments. While their perfectionist tendencies tug at them daily, Naeki strives to strike a balance, knowing that creativity thrives in the space between perfection and imperfection.
And let's not forget their undeniable wit and humour—a trait that adds an extra layer of charm to their already captivating persona. So whether it's through the written word or sung melodies, get ready to experience Naeki's latest release—a testament to their boundless creativity and unwavering passion for music. Get ready to vibe with Naeki.
