PANASH
St. Louis, MO.
Wordy and Nerdy. Intelligent and Humble.
These are only a few of the words that can describe Panash, born Jerrald Dyon Spencer Jr. Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri as an eighties baby, Nash got the best of vinyl records and older soul music as inspiration.
Versatile enough for the hardest of baselines but introspective even in acca pella spoken word, he strives to give a message to uplift, upbuild and overcome. With one mixtape under his belt and an penchant for playing rope a dope in life's most trying situations, watch for him to make a knock out punch in the music industry this year.
