Progressive. I'm always looking for a new sound, a new way to explore and flush out concepts in a satisfying way. That's what keeps me going — especially when it comes to producing. I love this shit.

Kendrick Lamar, Tyler the Creator, Childish Gambino. KAYTRANADA is my favorite and most recent influence — shout out to him. And of course the greats: Neptunes, Nas, Wu-Tang, and 2Pac — he's the reason I started music in the first place.

Vulnerable and free. Goosebumps when you hear those glittery chords, the punchy bass, the swift drums. I want people to feel authenticity — but also reality.

I don't just strive for originality — I advocate for preserving the past and learning from it. I truly feel like a hip hop historian. Over 50 years of influence guides me into the future.

That I'm multimedia. Music isn't my only passion — I love to direct and write. I can't wait to show that side of me. It's honestly the most passionate thing I hold.

Jersey born and raised. I always moved around, especially through middle and high school. Those experiences shaped who I am — as much as it affected me, I learned to appreciate it. Plus Jersey needs more representation. On God.

21, Ocean Township NJ. He's not in this for a title or to say he manages an artist. Nate is genuinely his boy and when you see someone that talented going for it you either show up or you don't. Wyolkens showed up.

They met in high school and he just thought Nate was cool, that's literally it. Years later he found a studio on a college campus and the first person that came to mind was Nate. No grand strategy behind it, just knew Nate loved music more than anyone and deserved a real shot at it. That call changed everything.

He checks in on the progress, keeps the business side moving, and makes sure there's actually a plan behind the music. Hardest part of the job? Sometimes you don't agree with how things go and you gotta let the artist do it their way anyway. That's just how it is. Learning to sit with that is what being a real manager actually looks like.

Big anime guy — One Piece, Dragon Ball Z, Trigun, grew up on all of it. He also makes his own music under W.Y.O, nothing too serious, just for the love of it. End goal is bigger than any of that though. When NUSTAR makes it the whole point is to take care of family, look out for the people who were there from the jump, and just keep making music that actually means something. The Grammy is coming. That's not a hope, that's a plan.
