Rush Entertainment About Nequasia This ambitious, innovative, passionate young lady breathes life back into an R&B scene that has been lacking for quite some time. NeQuasia was born in Brooklyn, NY and raised in Spartanburg, SC. From humble beginnings she took passion in singing and songwriting. Her sound, while it’s her own, has given influences from the likes of Phillis Hyman, Anita Baker, Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey and Toni Braxton, just to name a few. While she showed interest in music at the age of 10 by landing the lead role in a school play (Oliver), it was at the very age of 13 when her songwriting capabilities came into play. Wanting to grow musically, she transitioned her passion into her college years being classically trained. She obtained both her BA (Claflin University) and M.M. (Bowling Green State University) in music performance with a vocal concentration. With these accolades, opportunities began to pour in. NeQuasia began to tour in parts of the U.S., Canada and China (Xian, Beijing and Shanghai). After this she has had different singing appearances on various outlets. In 2012 she sung for the Steve Harvey Morning Radio Show (Hoodie Awards Competition) as well as appearing at The Apollo for amateur night in 2016. In 2017 she released two singles “Sexii You” and “Hella Bent,”and she was featured in her very first magazine (Real Fresh Magazine Vol. 5). In 2018 she released three more singles “Hypnotize” “Rewind” and “Loving Me (Ain’t Easy)”. Further along in the year 2018, NeQuasia was awarded 4 nominations (Breakout Artist, Best Female Artist, Best Mainstream Song “Sexii You” and Artist of the Year) for The 2018 Voiceless Music Awards. Starting off the year 2019 with 2 nominations for The 2019 Voiceless Music Awards and ending it performing at the infamous Rucker Park, in 2020, NeQuasia has no plans of slowing down. She just released her first EP titled 'SHATTERED' and with her smooth, sensual and powerful soulful sound she has nothing but success to look forward to.
