Introducing Lasasha Nesbeth

T: LuridPoisxn FB: Lasasha Nesbeth IG: Kamekazia

My name is Lasasha Nesbeth. I am a 17-year-old Toronto artist in the making. Ever since I was 5, I wanted to create something that I could share with the world. At the age of 14, I started writing songs. I would write anything from poetry to rap, to love songs, and songs about world issues. When I was younger, I faced a lot of difficult challenges in terms of fitting in. People always thought I was weird because I didn't want to throw a basketball or kick a soccer ball; instead, I would sit in the corner and write what was on my mind. When I was younger, I was always in a different school, living in a different house forced to make new friends each and every time. My family finally decided to move somewhere we could stay. And it was in Jane and Finch. I still live here, and there are plenty of days I’m faced with things I don't want to be exposed to. I've lost a couple of friends due to violence, kids I went to school with and kids I would play with outside. It shattered my heart to know that someone that you were just smiling and laughing with could be gone the next day. For me music is the way I express myself. I started separating myself from a lot of people and started exploring music more. I grew up thinking music was only a dream, but as I progress, I can slowly see it turning into my reality.
