Nelson D is an artist and music producer, born in Manaus, Brazil, and raised in Savona, in the Liguria region of northern Italy. He studied Fine Arts at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Milano, where he developed his artistic identity within a multicultural environment. His life journey is uniquely reflected in his music, which transcends geographic and cultural boundaries.
At the age of 24, he returned to Brazil with the purpose of reconnecting with his Indigenous roots — a path that led him to incorporate this heritage into his art and music in a singular way. Now based in São Paulo, Nelson D transforms his personal journey into a unique sonic experience, blending electronic elements with ancestral rhythms to create compositions that evoke memory, identity, and belonging. His sound is a true fusion of past and future, reflecting the richness of his Indigenous heritage through a contemporary lens.
Born as Davide De Merra, he adopted the name Nelson D as a way to reclaim his origins — a symbol of reconnecting with his own history and identity. His music, which he defines as “futuristic Amazonense”, combines the pulse of electronic music with the richness of Indigenous culture, resulting in a singular style that merges ritualistic beats with vibrant rhythms like techno, funk, carimbó, and tecnobrega.
