nelward is an innovative music artist creating funky electronic artpop for the internet age. Early on, the melodies of classic Nintendo games were etched into his ADHD brain and never seemed to leave. Drawing from a wide array of influences, nelward enjoys the explorative aspect of music creation and is not one to dwell in one sound for too long. He is also known for the colorful and whimsical art direction in his often self-produced videos.
In 2017, his first EP <a href="spotify:album:27W6JwegBnnpEiItds1Kfs" data-name="Alive in Screen">Alive in Screen</a> established his foundational sound.
