Meet Nick Northrup on 06/30/26

"My biggest draw is that I’m not afraid to talk about it. Whatever “it” may be. Grief, depression, anxiety, PTSD, impostor syndrome, we’ve all experienced at least one of these at some point, or we will because of how life goes. I’ve always strived to remove the stigma around the darker topics so the people who do suffer will finally feel comfortable enough to talk before they internalize. This mission of mine to help the sad kids has always been personal, since I grew up as one, but I never thought it was that important to talk about. After losing my little brother to suicide, I realized how incredibly essential it is to make sure you connect with the people you care for, even on the sad stuff. So I started making music to remind myself, and maybe somewhere, hopefully, save a kid in a similar position who hasn’t figured out yet that it can get better."

"I think the moments I am most proud of are the few where I’ve had fans reach out to say my words helped them to keep going for another day; once, I was approached at a show by a fan who shared that my music saved her life. I don’t know that anything will ever top that moment because it felt like I finally did what I’ve been meaning to do—help people."

Crowfather Music Review 03/27/25

"...the crisp beats and high reverb give this a very old-school rap feel, as in the stuff of the early 90s, where artists sampled direct from the turntable and served rhymes straight from the heart. not to say that those things don't happen in today's hip-hop, but there was something very special about that sound from decades ago, and i believe crowfather has found it on late nights & side quests. every track - from the swashbuckling "nostalgia" to the chilled-out "boss fight" - has something analog about it, a little more grit that feels natural..."

Crowfather “Mutants”

“Mutants’s” melodic and undeniable hip-hop beat is a real ear-worm - it’s hard not to get into Crowfather’s groove. With a rap that opens with the line, “Every morning I wake up and I think about death,” “Mutants” is straightforward and existential. Spoiler alert - Crowfather provides the listener with some emotional relief with references to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, hence the title, but each bar feels like it’s plunging us deeper into nostalgia and vulnerability as he uses them to reflect on his complicated relationship with being human. You can see what he’s up to by subscribing to his mailing list on his website and hear more on his Bandcamp and Spotify.
