A duo of artists with influences in funk, reggae, rock and hip-hop comprise the exhilarating sound of the band STRESS NADA. With African, European, and Central American roots, the two musicians grew up predominately in the west coast of northern California. It was here they fell in love with many different forms of music and each embarked on their own creative paths.
Santa Cruz’s Alternative-Funk band STRESS NADA is set to deliver feel-good music, with thoughtful and interesting lyrics. Surrounded by the central coast’s stunning landscape of palm trees and beaches, the duo is patient in creating melodies to capture the laid back vibe of California. Their original roots-style instrumentals merged with funky bass notes serve as the perfect soundtrack for this lifestyle brand.
STRESS NADA, or stressing off nothing is a personal decision, it’s about dealing with the up’s and down’s of life that everyone goes through, and knowing that happiness comes from within. It’s about detaching from pain, focusing on the positive, and having true faith that everything will be alright.
STRESS NADA is: Scorpz – songwriter, lead vocals, acoustic guitar | Fury – producer, bass guitar, drums/percussion, backup vocals.
The movement to build STRESS NADA began in 2018, as an experiment to move outside the Hip-Hop zone. Veteran emcee, and experienced guitar player in his own right, Scorpz the Venom had an idea for a Cali-Roots type song he was writing just for fun. While he was stepping outside of his box, he knew that Fury Figeroa, a fellow artist and talented musician was just the producer he needed to pull it off.
The initial response from sharing the first song “Pesos” with friends and family was overwhelming, and the Long time rap collaborators made the decision to start something brand new. Since then, the group has completed a full length studio album and released their first single accompanied by a fresh music video. They are promoting heavy and creating new music, while generating a highly dedicated fanbase. Their First LP self-titled “STRESS NADA” is soon to be released on Nitro Enterprise.
