Nessa on TikTok

Nessa currently has over 15 million followers on Tiktok and 5 million on Instagram. Her content is a mix of vlog-style videos, lip-syncing to popular rap songs, and dancing. Barrett posted her first TikTok on March 31st, 2019, and it amassed hundreds of thousands of views. She’s one of the most popular stars on TikTok, with one of her posts gaining over 10 million views. Nessa dated fellow social media influencer Josh Richards from October 2019 to June 2020. The 19-year-old Richards has over 24 million followers on TikTok and is a member of the Sway House, a social group featuring some of the biggest male stars on TikTok. Following their high-profile breakup, Nessa and Josh released a YouTube video explaining their decision. The video, titled “We Broke Up,” includes explanations from both Josh and Nessa, who chose to end their relationship after realizing that they needed to focus on personal development for a while.

Moving Towards Music 

After gaining traction on TikTok and Instagram, Nessa began focusing on pursuing a music career in 2020. Her debut single, “Pain,” features Jxdn, a singer and rapper who was later featured on her third release, “La Di Die.” Determined to make music her primary creative focus, Barrett relocated to Los Angeles, California, in 2020, leaving behind her family in New Jersey. The decision proved fruitful when she was signed to Warner Records, a major label, and her debut single was met with an overwhelmingly positive response from fans.  As of May 2021, Nessa has released three singles – “Pain,” “if u love me,” and “La Di Die.” She’s also released official remixes of each of the songs. Barrett currently has over 3 million monthly listeners and 300,000-plus followers on Spotify, a promising start for the rising star.  Nessa had initially never thought of herself as someone who could achieve star status as a musician. However, she was fully convinced of what she was capable of after her first studio session in Los Angeles in 2020. “Pain,” the first song she recorded, is an emotionally resonant ballad that touches on some of her heavier and harder personal experiences. The song was met with widespread praise, and it introduced Nessa’s fans to a new dimension of her personality. While she often presents herself as bubbly and carefree on TikTok and Instagram, her music lets her dive deeper into the aspects of life that matter the most to her.

“if u love me”

After recording “Pain” proved to Nessa that she could make it as a musician, she decided to keep pursuing a career as a pop star. She followed up “Pain” with “if u love me,” a song that takes a far different sonic turn. The track is a revenge anthem that served as a source of emotional release and catharsis for Barrett. 

“La Di Die” 

For her third single, Nessa once again partnered with Jxdn, who had been featured on “Pain.” “La Di Die,” released at the beginning of 2021, the song can be described as grunge-rock. According to Nessa, the lyrics are about the darker side of fame. She describes stardom as “dark and evil,” something touched on in the lyrics for “La Di Die.”  Jxdn, a frequent collaborator and personal friend of Nessa’s, described the song as focusing on how “the hardest situation is the one that seems perfect.” 

A Star on the Rise 

Based on the massive success of her TikToks, as well as the overwhelmingly positive response to her three singles, it’s clear that Nessa is just getting started with her rise to even greater heights of stardom. The young artist has already performed on The Ellen Show and numerous radio stations, and she continues to upload live recordings and intimate acoustic sessions to her personal YouTube channel. She’s currently getting ready to embark on her first tour. For someone so young, Nessa has already accomplished great things in multiple industries, including on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and as a musician. She’s also recently started dating another TikTok star, Jaden Hossler, also known as Jxdn, who has appeared on two out of three of her songs. Currently, Nessa’s top tracks on Spotify are “La Di Die” and “Pain,” both of which feature Jxdn. The former has over 30 million plays, and the latter has over 20 million. Nessa is also featured on some of the platform’s biggest editorial playlists. Her music career is just getting started, and she’s continuing to be a major force on social media. Her story is one of a young teenager’s meteoric rise to stardom from the ground up. Aspiring musicians everywhere have been inspired by her determination, creativity, and perseverance in the face of personal struggles and self-doubt. She’s become a true renaissance woman.   Sources: Who Is Nessa Barrett: TikTok Star Who Posted Video Dancing  | Insider Who is Nessa Barrett | Seventeen Nessa Barrett Says to Be Careful What You Wish For | NYLON
