Kid Nesian

Born to a famous musician father who was the lead guitarist for one of the most famous and iconic bands in his homeland during the 80’s and 90’s, Kid Nesian grew up in a musical family where his passion for music was fostered in a musical household.

After coming in second in PNG’s largest reality TV singing competition, Digicel Stars, his first 2 singles from his upcoming EP, ‘Stap Wantaim Yu’ and ‘Tamine’ became hits all around the South Pacific. He was recently made a mini brand ambassador for Sprite because of his fast rising popularity.

After receiving formal permission from the legendary rock band ‘The Scorpions’ from Germany to do a cover of their classic 90’s smash hit song ‘Wind of Change’, Kid Nesian has put a unique sunshine drenched, happy island reggae spin on this iconic track which is sure to be a hit with reggae lovers all around the world.
