BIO
If when you hear “Christian” or “Gospel” Rap or R&B, you imagine passive, outdated, and inauthentic, think again. Nekiwa “Harvest” Smith, is a Christian Hip Hop rap artist and singer, born and raised in Dallas, TX. Harvest is bold, cutting-edge, and genuine with music that is clear-cut, out-of-the box, magnetic and contagious. When asked why she choose to do Christian music, Harvest says “I want to engage the culture, shining light so that all will know the love of Christ.” Harvests’ belief is that the Lord has equipped her with gifts and talents with the sole purpose of engaging the culture to shine light by releasing relevant music so that all will know the love of Christ. Her love for music comes from growing up listening to artists like Betty White, Whitney Houston, Mary J. Blige, Lauren Hill, The Clark Sisters, and Yolanda Adams. She was raised, alongside her two brothers by her single mother and Great-grandmother who instilled a love for the things of God at a very young age. She began singing in the church choir by the age 7 and according to Harvest, this ultimately led to her finding her voice, praising, and worshipping God. Harvest’s highly anticipated debut single “In Love” deputed July 2022 and is currently available on all digital media outlets. On the heels of the success of debut solo single “In Love”, she dropped singles “New Level”, “Truth Triggers” and “Forever”. Her
“Before Harvest” – EP dropped August 2023 and is currently available on all platforms. Harvest is currently in the studio working on her debut album soon to be released in 2024.
Harvest is the CEO of Harvestegy Music and Harvestegy Radio., Founder of Harvestegy, LLC., and owner of Militant Barbies, a faith-based streetwear clothing brand.
