Hi, I'm Nastiya! I'm an incredibly overly emotional person. I have BPD, am unlucky, extremely self-ironic, straightforward, honest, and funny (at least that's what my grandma says). Making music and laughing away my trauma heals me. Cringe-worthy and embarrassing things I do inspire me. I just be livin'.
I hope you can relate to this so-called art I make
and we can all live through these experiences
together
With love -Nast
Rising Russian pop songwriter Nastiya Kai unveiled her dark, hypnotic single ‘Bury Me’ on October 27th, 2023. ‘Bury Me’ is a teaser to her forthcoming debut album, set for release in early 2024. With her music garnering more than 141 500 streams and counting, Nastiya Kai is making waves in the industry and shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon.
Originally from Moscow and now based between Moscow, Paris, LA and New York, Nastiya Kai is an entirely self-taught musician. She began playing piano at a young age, starting to write songs at the age of ten. Struggling with bullying, mental health and loneliness in school, Nastiya Kai found solace quietly playing guitar in her boarding school dormitory. After shifting careers, universities, countries and more, she has found that music has always been a constant, and began releasing singles in 2023.
With a sound that has been compared to
Caroline Polachek and Sub Urban, Nastiya
Kai finds inspiration in a vast range of
genres and artists, citing the likes of
David Bowie, Daughter, The Naked and
Famous, Crystal Castles, The Prodigy and
Bob Dylan as but a few who have
influenced her.
