Born to a Dominican (Dominica ) mother and a French (Guadeloupe) father, Nashoo was introduced to music at an early age, enriched and inspired by Caribbean music of the 1990’s (Tanya Stephens, Cécile, Jah-Cure, Wayne Wonder, etc…), including American HipHop / RnB & Soul music(Erykah Badu, Whitney Houston, Brandy etc...)
In 2000, at the age of 14, she wrote, composed and recorded her earliest singles, produced by DJ Parrain & Selecta Manworks. In developing her passion for the arts, dance and fashion, she entered an inter-high school talent contest, held at the National Arts Center of Guadeloupe in 2003. Soon afterwards, she was introduced to the urban music scene in Guadeloupe, being featured on various album projects and compilations with artists such as Méga, Lovyjam,Tiwony, Kultcha B, “Washington Crew”. Driven by her desire for success she left Guadeloupe in 2004, landing in Paris, then England, and finally coming back to her native island in 2017, enriched with accumulated international experience. Her artistic ambitions garnered her two talent contest wins with Coast 2 Coast Mixtapes USA.
1. A stage performance at their first live event in LONDON in 2015.
2. An appearance on the mixtape of famed rapper FUTURE with her breakout single “TSUNAMI” in 2014.
Nashoo established her label SPACESHIP MUSIC INTERNATIONAL in 2015, specializing in audio engineering, events, booking, and management and artists development, with support from the label “Major Players Music Global". The label brings together emerging artists and beatmakers, from all over the United States, Africa and the Caribbean including Indinal(Jamaica), Dj Manni(Ghana) SupaSaa(Sierra-Léonne)
She would soon become the label’s ambassador working as a duo with her counterpart “HAYA” ,launching the group’s live contests in Cannes, during the “MIDEM” of the International Congress of Music Professionals in Juin 2016, as well as the Édition de Paris (Paris Publishing) which the duo continues to organize monthly from Guadeloupe.

The songstress shot her music video for “Si ou lé” in the island of Marie Galante with “Nirvaneyes”, available on YouTube since Mai 2018. The track has been performed in front of numerous audiences all over the archipelago since her homecoming.
Around the same time, the track “Island Flame”, first promotional single released from the album by Detroit rapper Reime
Scheme“Rhymageddon”, featuring Haya & El Jamexican, propelled her on FM radio airwaves across the American continent, in particular NBC California, Caribbean PowerJam radio(Brooklyn N.Y), in Australia (5Ebi 103. 1 FM92.7FM etc...), in Canada and along with radio stations in certain European countries, notably The Netherlands, Germany.
