With an academic background in screenwriting and film theory influencing his attitude, approach, and style when creating music or Djing, each performance conveys emotions, motifs, and environmental structures forming a jointed relation and exchange of energy between music and listener often times guiding those to what he calls a ‘dance trance’. Delivering a wide range of sounds both electrifying and astral, Nappa is constantly reshaping what it means to be a DJ, creative, and curator with a strong mission to create experiences powerful enough to drive change and boundless unity in a safe space.
