Nessa Barrett

Artist Biography by Marcy Donelson Nessa Barrett is a singer/songwriter with a flair for heartfelt, unguarded alternative pop and a social media star with millions of followers on multiple platforms. Her yearning 2020 single "Pain" introduced her vulnerable style, which she expanded on with that year's "if u love me" and 2021's charting collaboration with Jxdn, "La Di Die." Barrett started posting lifestyle, dance, music, and comedy videos, including lip-syncs, as a high school student in 2019. By early 2020, she had gone viral, signed with a management agency, and quickly became a top performer. She decided that music was her main ambition, relocated from her family's home in New Jersey to Los Angeles, and made her Warner debut with the yearning ballad "Pain" in July 2020. Barrett followed it three months later with "if u love me," which also garnered millions of streams. Her third single, "La Di Die" featuring singer/rapper Jxdn, debuted in the Top 50 in Ireland in early 2021 and became an alternative and Top 40 radio hit in the U.S.
