Queen of Backpack soul. Your favorite emcee's favorite singer.

Nanci was born in Baltimore, MD but raised in San Diego, CA where she learned to sing before she learned to speak. At age eight, she joined her church choir and was soon singing her own solo’s. She continued to develop her chops in performing arts, choir and drama in junior and high school and found an undying love for hip-hop before flying south to study in Atlanta, GA at Clark Atlanta University. Atlanta birthed the backpack soul experience. It was there that Lil Nanci fused the passionate social commentary of an emcee with the enchanting, melodic vocals of a soul singer.  Her sonic trail continued on to Virginia where local producers including Rapstafunkian helped her find her niche.  Her refreshing, soulful music is an alternative to the dumbed-down, oversexed music the masses are presented with.  Tune in and zone out.
