Spinning the ideal song to set a vibe to, Alfred Nomad teamed up with dynamic and colorful vocalist Vilda Ray for his latest single “Every Time.” Setting a new tone, this is Alfred’s second single in promotion of his upcoming EP “Keep Moving Forward.” This cloud rap-style record makes you want to slow down, enjoy the moment, and cruise in your ride with those you enjoy most. Produced by frequent collaborator and musician Juran Ratchford

That message of perseverance has been given to me most of my life in different phrases by the people I look up to the most. Now I want to spread that same consistent ideology outward”

For over the last decade Alfred Nomad has been using his talents on the microphone to open doors for himself and others to shine. With no form of industry backing Nomad has been able to independently tour, curate live experiences such as his festivals and art exhibitions, and be co-owner of his own streaming platform. And although a lot of this work has fallen on his shoulders, Alfred knows none of this could have been accomplished alone. Being an art and wellness advocate, Nomad is encouraging artists to keep creating and growing with those around them. 

Community is something that Alfred has made a point to cultivate in every aspect of his art. And his latest project doubles down. “This project title is inspired by my father. Religiously, my father will end a phone call or email telling me to keep moving forward. I didn’t pay much attention to it at first, but after a while, I realized what my father was doing. He’s drilling perseverance into me, even if subconsciously. He knows I dream big, and I’m pursuing a higher purpose. And he doesn’t want me to stop. That message of perseverance has been given to me most of my life in different phrases by the people I look up to the most. Now I want to spread that same consistent ideology outward” Alfred states. 

Alfred believes this message is universal, and fans won’t only have to take his word for it. Teaming up with producers Juran Ratchford, Jordyn Woodside, Bobby Genius & Alexander Alfred Nomad creates a brief but potent audio journey blending commercially viable sonics, and alternative hip-hop with experimental moments.

Alfred Nomad gives us everything we love about hip hop and R&B collaborations with his latest feel-good offering “Bar Code '' ft. Elle Baez, and it’s worth every penny. 

Both Alfred & Elle seamlessly show & tell us that you can be a selling artist without selling yourself out over a perfect balance of lustrous chords and muddy bass guitar to a bright groove thanks to southern producer Bobby Genius. 

Friday Night Groove feat. Alfred Nomad

The Friday Night Groove on 88.3 WXOU FM featuring an interview with Los Angeles-based artist, emcee, and organizer, Alfred Nomad. In this episode, we discuss the release of his latest EP, Keep Moving Forward.

“Music with a mission ten years in a row, delivering the message to you rain sleet, or snow” are the first words immediately given by Nomad as soon as you press play. And his message continues for 4 more songs, all with a unique aura in the world that this project creates. There are no other rap features on this EP, but some efficacious singing performances are given by collaborators Elle Baez, Vilda Ray, and frequent musical friends FINKEL. Alfred knows when and how he wants each song on this record to sound.

We’re all trying to figure out our next steps. Alfred believes these steps can be planted firmer together, and no matter what Keep Moving Forward. 

His posts popping up in my feed laid witness to a talented musician with a sophisticated sound that was confident, humble, and refreshing. Listening to his album put him on the radar and drew my curiosity to learn more about him, his sound, and his inspirations.
