QM Records Presents:

Nelson Navarro

“I do it all to bring the gang together” says young songwriter, Nelson Navarro. “I’m talking unity”. Navarro has a lot of experience in community, coming from a large mixed-Caribbean family and joining musical groups all throughout childhood. “There’s something really unifying about swimming in music together. It’s unique.” Despite releasing music for over 6 years, Nelson places a high value on the year 2022. “It feels like I’m back at year one all over again. It’s never felt this exciting.” So far this year the singer-producer has released 16 songs across 2 mixtapes, with another 9 tracks on the way. “This new project I’m working on is interesting – I’m trying out the trilogy vibe. I wanna give people a series they can keep coming back to. Skyhook, Sundance, Smokecity. That’s the three mixtape names. Who knows what I’ll make after these three…” Battling through intense dissociative episodes and painful periods of depression, Nelson uses music to bring together strands of what can feel like a pretty bleak reality. “We all struggle with our mental health and everyone’s well being is set up differently. Everyone needs a different sort of self care and everyone deserves to have that set up in their lives. “I just want you to know you can do it. Maybe not now. Maybe even sooner than you expect. But you can probably already do everything you’re wishing for. Collaborate with reality and keep your expectations blank. You’d be surprised about what the universe has in store…”
