Nektunez at Flamingo Cantina
This performance is part of the showcase that starts on Friday, March 14 at Flamingo Cantina
Noble, better known as Nektunez, is an African-American Billboard Charting Multi-Genre record producer, DJ, singer, songwriter, composer and entrepreneur. A product of University of Ghana with Bachelor’s degree in Political Science, Noble developed interest in music early in life mingling with musically inclined artists. Honing his skills playing traditional and percussion instruments since high school, Nektunez learned how to compose music on his own and spent countless hours in the studio perfecting his craft. This allowed him to develop a unique style, which makes him standout anytime you hear his production.
A few top producers influenced his style of play and Nektunez still looks up to them: Dr. Dre , JR Rotem, @DJ Khaled , Bon Iver , David Guetta , and Kanye West .
“For me, it’s all about mood and deep hypnotic grooves, playing those beats and making those tracks that get you tapping your feet and nodding your head without you realizing it, regardless of genre, tempo, style, or release date”.
Nektunez has a massive array of star studded production credits.
