Aphelion's Traveling Circus

Namir Blade is a multi-instrumentalist, producer, and artist from Nashville Tennessee. He started experimenting with sounds at the age of six and further developing and refining his talents from middle school well into high school while attending Nashville School of the Arts.

Over the years he has had projects and collaborations that extended to multiple genres from House to Hip-hop, working with some of Nashville’s most renowned artists. His stylings are often self-reflective, innovative, organic, and almost sporadic at times. Surrealism, Afro-Futurism, Nerd culture, and Black culture bleeds through his sound as primary influencers so that anyone lending an ear is immediately ejected from their seat. In the past, Namir has worked closely with several multimedia art collectives, as well as SoundCloud-Golden age producer collectives, Natural Selection and Wizards Only. Recent press includes securing a spot on OkayPlayer’s ‘Best of the Week’ Spotify Playlist and being featured on both Uproxx (Best New Music) and HipHopDX.
