Queer Beats: NahBo with Bored Housewives Club & WYNONA

NahBo Astronesian native, NahBo, is sad about colonisation, then writes beats about it. NahBo is a character designed by te-Whanganui-a-Tara-based performer Taranaki Ah Young-Grace (Ngāti Ruanui, Ngāti Tūwharetoa, Samoa, China, UK, Ireland, Germany, and France). The sonic aesthetic of NahBo relies heavily on Taranaki's time studying vocals in the jazz performance course at the University of Auckland as well as their love for neo-soul, indie rap, hip hop, DIY shit, and sticking it to "the man."
