Before Now Nation was a name, it was a feeling — a shared desire to create, connect, and represent. We were just a small group of Latine artists, immigrants, and dreamers in New York City, gathering in living rooms, rooftops, and makeshift studios with nothing but passion and community to fuel us.

There were no stages yet. No budgets. Just music, poetry, and the belief that our stories mattered.

We started this collective to carve space for the voices and rhythms often overlooked — to celebrate our cultures, our struggles, our joy. Now Nation was born from the need to build something of our own, together.

And now, every song, every gathering, every artist we uplift is a reminder of where we come from — and how far we’re going.
