Janesa Jaida "Nessa" Barrett (born August 6, 2002) is an American singer. She has released one EP, Pretty Poison (2021), and one studio album, Young Forever (2022). Barrett is of Puerto Rican descent and was born and grew up in Galloway Township, New Jersey, where she struggled as being the only Puerto Rican and, after her parents divorced, one of the few students living in an apartment with a single mother. Her father, Drew Barrett (born 1980), is a rapper, actor, and motivational speaker, who had a music studio at home. She has a younger brother named Julian. Barrett said she was writing songs "since [she] could walk and talk". In 2019, Barrett began posting videos on TikTok, which led to a recording contract from Warner Records. In July 2020, she released her piano-based ballad debut single "Pain". In October 2020, she released her second single, "If U Love Me". In December 2020, Barrett released a dark interpretation of "Santa Baby". In February 2021, Barrett released the track "La Di Die", which explores the downfalls of fame with Jxdn, produced by Travis Barker. Barrett and Jxdn, along with Barker, performed the single live for the first time on the April 7, 2021 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! and performed the song again on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on April 12, 2021. On June 25, 2021, Barrett released "Counting Crimes", a song said by Barrett to be "about moving on from something toxic." In August 2021, her song "I Hope Ur Miserable Until Ur Dead" debuted at number 88 on the Billboard Hot 100, Barrett's first entry on the list. Her debut EP, Pretty Poison, containing seven new tracks, was released on September 10, 2021, coinciding with World Suicide Prevention Day.
