KESMAR specializes in songs tailor-made for this moment. Basking in the glow of bright analog synths, lush guitars, and organic beat-craft, Sydney-based singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Nathan Hawes strikes a distinctive, infectious, and inimitable balance between yacht rock and D.I.Y. bedroom pop. After generating millions of streams and earning acclaim from NME, MILKY, and more, he perfects this sound on his 2021 Forever Holiday EP (out via Nettwerk Records). He started chasing this feeling with the independent Up To You EP, which he crafted through collaborations with LANKS, Panama, and Cleopold. Establishing KESMAR as one to watch, it instantly reacted with audiences highlighted by tracks like “Feel It Again,” “Crushing,” and “Up To You.”
